Get To Know Me
What is your style/approach to therapy?
As a somatic (body-based) therapist, I can help you listen to the embodied cues that live beneath your thoughts and follow them towards the vibrant, easeful you that is hidden underneath pain and struggle. Whether you are dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, or other issues, I will support you in bringing awareness to the ways your nervous system’s stress response can shape your emotions and thoughts, and we will collaborate to create new experiences of safety and selfhood. In addition to processing verbally, we might experiment with grounding, breath, memory, imagery, or movement.
What was your path to becoming a therapist? What inspired you to choose this profession?
I came to this vocation through my own experience of finding healing through somatics. I am inspired by my clients :)
