Do you have a hard time regulating and feeling connected to your body? Do you feel like your nervous system is shaken, exhausted, and on edge? If you're here, you are ready to start the work so you can experience some much deserved peace. 

Finding a therapist that you can vibe with is a challenge that I am very familiar with. I try to break the traditional therapist mold by being my authentic self, bringing realness and humor into the therapy room. I'm a laid-back millennial therapist and I embrace my weirdness so you can too. My relational, somatic-based, secular therapy style creates a chill, inclusive space where you can feel challenged and yet comfortable, as you grow your resilience and self trust. In our sessions, we may practice a variety of techniques to help you learn to regulate, such as meditation, breathing, art, and movement.

I enjoy working with adults of all types, and I believe that growth is possible through deep acceptance of reality and regulation of the body. I specialize in Trauma, CPTSD, menstrual mental health (cycle awareness and syncing), and PMDD, but I also love to work with people outside these niches. Regardless of your specific challenges, I would be honored to walk by your side on your healing journey.

I am also a Guided Drawing Practitioner (2 hour healing sessions are $320, private pay only, in-person). Guided Drawing is a movement based art therapy that is ideal for treating trauma. It accesses implicit, stored memory and requires no art skills or retelling of the story. Often called "tai chi on paper" it works much like EMDR, utilizing a bilateral approach to healing that allows the brain to integrate and process trauma. This powerful, body-based approach can be helpful for people who want to improve their mind-body connection and discover a level of healing that feels out of reach in traditional talk therapies. 

 If you're tired of having to be strong all the time, it is time to let go. I'm so glad you're here.
