About
We live in uncertain times. Many of us weren’t prepared for the amount of change that is happening rapidly on the planet at this time. You may be experiencing feelings of anxiety, depression, or despair. You are not alone! You may also find yourself more sensitive and open to your environment in ways that are new to you. Not unlike during the pandemic, many of our personal, ancestral and collective traumas are being unearthed-so that they can be looked at and healed. Therapy that goes beyond traditional "talk therapy" and which addresses these issues creatively and in depth can support you in orienting to and navigating these times. My background is in Somatic Psychology, and I draw from approaches such as IFS, EMDR, CRM, "parts work" and the STAIR method to address trauma related symptoms and dissociative disorders in an integrative way. I also work with couples to address conflict, develop your communication skills, increase self awareness and learn to better connect with each other.
