There are times in our lives when we recognize that what we are doing is no longer working and where we are going feels unclear. You may long to feel love, joy, and connection again. Perhaps the old tools that used to work are no longer effective and you are stuck in a rut. It can feel incredibly difficult to know where to turn during these times. We are not meant to walk this journey alone and the good news is you don't have to.
My approach is rooted in somatic-based attachment theory, supporting you in understanding how you connect to yourself and others. It is my belief that when we establish safety in a therapeutic relationship, we create a foundation from which change, healing, and growth is possible.
I provide a compassionate and collaborative space for you to explore the unique story that makes you, YOU. As both modern research and ancient healing modalities suggest, we store our experiences, memories, and emotions not just in our mind but also in our bodies. I offer a blend of somatic-based therapies including Hakomi therapy, mindfulness techniques, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Expressive arts, guiding you in reconnecting to your body's wisdom and your whole self. I work with individuals who are struggling with grief, addictions, trauma, relationship issues, anxiety, or moving through major life transitions. We are a good fit if you are hoping to break through painful core beliefs, shame, self-doubt, or addictive patterns.
My background is in wilderness therapy and addiction treatment. It is through this work that I found a passion for supporting individuals in moving through incredibly vulnerable and life changing chapters in their lives. In addition to my work as a therapist, I offer wilderness rites of passage ceremony experiences for individuals and groups. I often weave together these Earth based teachings into my work with clients.
A Bit More About Me
I did not always know who I was, where I was going, or how I was going to get there. I had to come close to losing my life first. Consumed by my own addictions, I felt powerless, scared and alone. It took every ounce of courage I had to ask for help and I still wasn't sure the help would "work." In time, I did find healing. I found it in a connection to our Earth, the place we call home, in my therapists' offices, and in a healthy community of people who told me my life was worth living. Through my own experience and witnessing others, I have come to believe in the incredible human capacity for change.
