For each of us, life is not without change, loss, transition, even trauma, and the emotional difficulties that result. And we heal and transform by way of supportive connection, internally, environmentally, and relationally. I am inspired by the subtle ways in which providing a safe, compassionate and nonjudgmental space allows for a client’s inner wisdom, insights, and empowerment to emerge and for life’s transitions to be eased. I work to provide a sanctuary to process, be witnessed in, and build helpful skills for dealing with loss & grief, transition, emotional distress such as anxiety and depression, and trauma. I am a person-centered clinician, & utilize talk therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR), and somatic, psychoeducation, mindfulness, & Internal Family Systems techniques to aid in client’s exploration and healing. I hold to a feminist orientation, acknowledging the circumstances and systems that impact mental/emotional well-being. Though our pain is unique and personal, we find our healing through safely connecting. I look forward to speaking with you. “The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.”- Carl Rogers
