My Ideal Client

Any of these sound familiar? Have an amazing talk therapist but want to add somatic/body-focused work to your healing Feel like you don't quite belong even though you are connected to others Are a parent and want to break the cycle of trauma (or feel stuck in a parenting pattern that doesn't feel like you) Your body seems to be stuck in an old pattern even though you have a ton of insight into your life Want something different than traditional talk therapy and are curious Find animals soothing

My Approach to Helping

Each person I work with comes in with their own story including personal and family history, cultural perspective and systemic experience. Using my education and experience as both a clinical social worker and massage therapist, I integrate therapeutic touch, talk therapy and bodywork (craniosacral and orthobionomy techniques) into work with clients who choose to work with me. I see mental health as being interconnected to our experience in our bodies and work alongside clients to touch into and reconnect emotions and embodiment. Luna, a 2 year old pup, offers animal assisted therapy two days a week. Her calm demeanor and nervous system offer another layer of somatic settling for those who feel comfortable and seen by dogs.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Licensed Massage Therapist with over 15 years of experience providing counseling to adults, adolescents and families. I have worked in non-profit, health care and mental health settings in Chicago and Portland. I am especially passionate about working with BIPOC and mixed race clients and those who work as therapists, massage therapists or other healthcare professionals.

Techniques I Use

Specialties

  • Somatic Therapy (Body Centered) External link

    Dually licensed as a clinical social worker and a massage therapist, I have continued training with Kathy Kain in a modality called Somatic Regulation and Resilience completing certification for using this modality in the treatment of developmental trauma. I have also worked with Carol Gray with a focus on integrating craniosacral work as a means of releasing emotions and patterns that are no longer serving us from the body.
