First, let's educate you about the patterns you're in and why they're showing up and together process any trauma and develop somatic awareness in order to help you step into your mose peace-filled authentic self.

So let's work together!

I'm aware therapy is a financial, time and emotional investment. This is why my approach is aimed at getting deeper, faster. Typically I recommend clients begin working with me weekly for the first 3 months at which point we will decide together if it is apppopriate to decrease sessions. Most of my clients decrease session frequency around the 2-3 month mark.

While in grad school I completed my practicum at Capital Area Counseling where I primarily worked with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, grief and difficulty in transitions. I have also worked in courts where I helped develop a program to reduce recidivism in teens, worked at an assessment center with a focus on court mandated clients, and in an employee assistance program. My primary focus was court mandated clients and the homeless population. I went on to found and sell a Pilates studio that I operated for 10+ years. This heavily influenced my return to the mental health space where I now work holistically with adolescents and young adults in a private practice setting.

My deep clinical passion focuses on clients experiencing some sort of anxiety: phobias, rumination, hypochondria, chronic health, chronic pain and trauma. Many of my clients are also experiencing difficulty with their family of origin and relationships, difficulty with transitions, depression and feelings of isolation. I also enjoy working with therapists. I have completed training in Pain Reprocessing Therapy, Reiki (I, II & Master Training) and Pilates and incorporate things like breathwork and mindfulness in my clinical approach.

My clients would say I’m a blend of collaborative, curious, gentle, playful and direct. Creating a space for you to feel safe to explore, discover and heal at your own pace is incredibly important to me. I also understand how important the therapeutic relationship is and that our communication and ability to co-regulate is as impactful for you as is the things we discuss and process.

Holistic health and healing is my passion and forms the basis of the lens through which I view you. I believe healing is possible for everyone, that it’s never to late to begin this journey and that you have the tools within yourself to experience your most fulfilling and meaningful life.
