About
My experience includes facilitating life skills camps for incarcerated and at-risk youth; providing counseling services to children, adolescents, and families in school, home, group home, and foster care settings; co-facilitating a women’s therapy group; providing individual psychotherapy to adults, and working with athletes and individuals with injuries. Additionally, I have experience supporting and coaching athletes of various abilities, age groups and persuasions. . I am inspired by the resiliency of individuals facing mental health challenges and having experienced the benefits of mental health counseling myself. My specialization is in Somatic Psychotherapy and Exercise and Sport Performance. Somatic psychotherapy is based on the idea that past traumas can manifest as physical symptoms. Focusing on the connection between the mind and body can promote healing and well-being through releasing tension and other emotions.
