Meaningful change happens in
RELATIONSHIPS
If you’re caught in a place of wishing things were different,
it’s time to do something different.
My Services
Individuals
We all contain multitudes, to paraphrase Walt Whitman. That is, there is no one, true self. We are all made of many "selves." Culture, context, and relationship all inform who we are at any given time. We all have different experiences of self, and others have different experiences of our "selves." In fact, the self is a moment to moment process of emergence. There is, however, what you might call a "preferred self," the self whose story you are most interested in exploring and nurturing. My aim is to support your preferred experience of self, and help you in living out narratives that support the development and emergence of that preferred self.
Couples
Many couples find themselves stuck in the same loops of blame and accusation, and unable to negotiate difference My goal is to help couples move away from ideas "right" and "wrong" and toward greater ability to pay attention to one another’s unique experiences, making the relationship itself the site of growth.
Haptic Trauma Therapy™
Haptic Trauma Therapy (HTT) is a body-based, trauma-informed intervention, grounded in neuroscience and mindfulness, which uses clay and a potter's wheel to reactivate the circuits in the brain responsible for pleasure and reward; create new neural pathways.
ABOUT ME
My areas of specialization are relationship issues and trauma.
I’m really glad you’re here.
Therapy is a relationship. It’s a particular kind of relationship, sure. But it’s absolutely a relationship. I’ve dedicated myself to building therapeutic relationships with compassion, candor, and warmth. Therapy can be hard, but it can also be a joy. When you work with me, you can expect it to be both.
I’m unwilling to conform to the idea that healing is “supposed” to look like any one thing. What does healing or growth look like for you? Let’s find that out together.
Whether you’re in a difficult relationship or just noticing cracks, whether you have experienced trauma as a child or an adult, or if anxiety has you overpowered more often than you’d like, I’m here to help you move toward a preferred way of being.
Through talk, EMDR therapy, mindfulness, and maybe even using some clay at the potter’s wheel, let’s work through things together. Come as you are. Because that’s how I’m gonna show up. It’s not just therapy. It’s a relationship.
QUESTIONS?
Sometimes picking up the phone or dropping an email is the hardest part. Let’s chat for a few minutes and see if you feel like we might be able to work through things together.
Freedom is what you do
with what's been done to you.
