What I Specialize In

I combine somatic (body-focused), mindfulness-based, and depth (psychodynamic) approaches to explore messages that arise through body symptoms, beliefs, patterns, and/or dreams. I work experientially, which means we include your present moment, felt-sense experience to discover direct insight and avenues for change. I have found that these approaches lead to compassionate self-understanding and positive, lasting change. My somatic therapy training includes 3+ years of study with M.E.T.A. (Mindful Experiential Therapy Approaches), now renamed the Hakomi Institute of the Pacific Northwest, including a yearlong internship at the former M.E.T.A. Clinic. My psychodynamic training includes an M.A. in counseling psychology with emphasis in Jungian depth psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute, and a yearlong internship at the River’s Way Clinic through the Process Work Institute.
