My Ideal Client

For folks with anxiety, depression, relational challenges and struggles with self-worth, and a strong desire for personal growth to meet challenges of burn-out, trauma, or adjustment to live transitions.

My Background

My primary training is in Hakomi therapy, in which the client is the expert, and the therapist offers “assisted self-study.” Learn more about this method at hakomiinstitute.com. I orient towards supporting personal growth and expansion, supporting clients in developing a resourced and secure sense of self. Clients may experience symptoms of anxiety, depression, emotional reactivity, low self-worth or poor self-image, difficulty with decisions or confidence, or chronic illness – all of which may be a result of trauma or early relational wounding and can be benefitted by therapy. My perspective on healing is also informed by being a provider of East Asian Medicine, becoming a yoga teacher, and practicing meditation – as well as my practices in creative writing, songwriting, and making print art.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe in the innate healing power of our minds and bodies. Although past circumstances and relationships may have impacted us, and we may have created strategies along the way to help us cope and get our needs met (sometimes harmful strategies), with support we can discover new ways of living and being that engender health and thriving. Together we can work to support you in healing from past wounds, so that your own natural, innate whole self is free to emerge.

Specialties

  • Historical Trauma External link

    Historical relational trauma can affect how safe we feel in our bodies, in the world, and in relationship with other people. Core beliefs form around our experiences. In examining our somatic responses to the world, in the safe container of therapy, in reference to our life experience -we can begin to uncover new ways to relate to ourselves, the world, and others. Healing historical trauma can improve our physical health, self-esteem, general mood and well-being, and our relationships.

  • Personal Growth External link

    Sometimes we want a supportive and nurturing relationship, or psychoeducation and coaching, to help expand and direct our selves and lives. One doesn't need to be suffering to utilize therapy for self-inquiry and discovery, improved self-esteem and clarity in life, work, play and relationship choices. To be in relationship with another, with the goal of growing, nurturing, an expanding ourselves exponentially increases potential for growth. I use mindfulness and creative play to support this.
