Clients often come to me feeling overwhelmed, burnt out, and unsure of what to try next. Some have already tried therapies that didn't feel like the right fit, while others want to explore if what they're really facing is underlying stress, trauma, and neurophysiological patterns that all affect the way we think, feel, and experience life.
​
Whether you have specific concerns or you just know things are a bit off, I'm here to help.
​​Offering individual and group sessions, in-person, hybrid, and remote, I specialize in trauma-responsive therapies that incorporate play, expressive arts, and body-based (somatic) approaches to support your holistic wellness.
Read about how I use these various tools to co-create an integrative therapeutic experience unique to you, promoting a safe space for you to get curious, creative, and explore new perspectives and responses.
Wellness is the Whole You
​
Maybe you know exactly what you want support focusing on, or maybe something just feels off. Either way, your mental health and wellness is more than the words we use to describe what we're thinking, feeling, and doing... it's about building a deeper understanding of how our mind, body, and spirit are interconnected, and using that connection to restore our sense of balance.
​
Sometimes we disconnect from our feelings and sensations as a defensive mechanism when our safety and security feel threatened. Other times we are consumed by our thoughts, overwhelmed by our feelings, and experiencing the physical effects of stress and trauma through our bodies. I want you to know that it's not only ok to have those feelings, it’s actually normal. Therapy is about building deeper self-awareness, acknowledging and celebrating the tools you already possess within you, and adding tools and resources that are there when you need them.
​
Through experiential activities including play, expressive arts, and mindful breath work, we will explore the connections and strengthen the strategies that help you feel present, balanced, safe, and well.

Trauma-Responsive Care
​
Too often, people focus on trying to change undesirable thoughts, feelings, and behaviors rather than exploring them in the context of unresolved or ongoing stress and trauma. For me, practicing “trauma-responsive” care means not only having a holistic understanding of the many ways we each might experience and cope with adversity, but also to respond in a way that helps you move through traumatic stress responses.​
