Are you feeling stuck or overwhelmed? Would you like to change your relationship with yourself, your past, or your family, but don’t know where to begin?

I draw from my experience and training in somatic trauma healing, including Somatic Experiencing®, to offer support in moving through painful memories and emotions like fear, regret, grief, trauma, loss, anxiety, and shame.

I work with people struggling with the impact of relational and developmental trauma, childhood wounds, a sense of isolation and inability to form safe, connected relationships. My clients are bravely navigating varying levels of anxiety, C-PTSD, grief, loss, and depression.

I support people in identifying what happened to them in their childhood through connecting with sensation, images, memories, dreams, art, and the unconscious so that what has been hidden can come into the light and be transformed. I guide individuals in the meaningful work of healing intergenerational trauma and inner child wounds. I bring deep presence and listening to all who are desiring that trust, repair, love, a sense of safety, and aliveness be restored in their lives.

Couples Counseling

Only you and your partner can create your unique relationship, your own dance, and as couple, you are modeling love and intimacy for the next generation. Or not. Investing in couples counseling to get on the right path together is an investment that will help you heal, feel alive and connected again, and it will support you and your loved ones ongoing. Learning to love the way you want and need and may never have been taught is possible with a skilled guide. A secure attachment style can be co-created in adulthood even when that wasn’t what you got in childhood.

The therapists and guides who most inform my approach to couples work include Stan Tatkin, Dan Siegel, Terry Real, Pia Mellody, and Dave Berger. What all these teachers have in common is an awareness of the need to address, heal, and integrate childhood attachment trauma while increasing the practice of emotional co-regulation in the couple’s relationship.

In my personal life, I work on my own relational recovery, a term coined by Terry Real, which is a mixture of doing my own inner work, and practicing healthy communication in life together with my husband. Intimacy is something we work on each day, it’s a lifelong practice, and totally worth it.
