About Me

I am a licensed therapist and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner whose approach is collaborative, holistic, and eclectic.  I am creative in my interventions, and get excited about my work.  My goals are your goals, and one of my superpowers is figuring out how to get you where you want to be. 

 

I begin each day by becoming fully present in my office and in my commitments to you:

​

*to embody warmth and connection, giving you my full and attuned attention so you leave feeling as felt, seen, and understood as feels good to you

*to remain as grounded and present as possible in my own Self which allows you to feel both anchored and free to explore your own inner world 

*to listen to the tender and gritty things you share with compassion and an utter lack of judgment (I do, after all, believe that alllll behavior makes sense in context),  

*to communicate valuable feedback and perspective with skill, care, and clarity, and

*to identify tangible ways for you to practice the insights you receive in session

​

I'm a solid 9w8 on the Enneagram if that means anything to you!  If it does, that tells you everything you need to know about how I hold space with care and also call you forward boldly.  In the therapy world we call that being both high invitation and high challenge.

​

I'm a mom to the world's most amazing human.  He serves in the United States Navy and our dog is a "Proud Navy" German Shorthaired Pointer who likes to run away onto the wooded trails and give me a heart attack at every available opportunity, but I digress.  

 

Come see me!  Let's sit down to talk for a while and figure things out.
