Our attachment-styles and the experiences that inform them underly all of our interpersonal relationships and the way we navigate in connection with ourselves and the world. I work with attachment relationally in the therapy session by creating a safe-place to explore connection and boundaries so that a new experience of secure attachment can be had and can filter forward into other relationships outside of therapy.

I facilitate my clients process of deepening their awareness of themselves and their experiences. By gaining awareness of what was once unconscious, more self-agency and understanding is formed, in place of old patterned ways of being and reacting.

Trauma experienced during the formative years of childhood and adolescence structures our self-concept in ways that are limiting to our fullest expression and capacity to thrive. I work with a high-level of attunement and compassion to support my client's trauma in a way that promotes titration, slowness, safety, and resiliency.

The body is a well of experiential knowledge. Through mindfulness, movement, and touch, I help you to use your awareness of your body as a perspective for self-study and understanding.

Depth therapy looks at the story untold, or the aspects of yourself that may not be conscious, but are seeking for a way to be expressed in your conscious life. I help you see more of the arch of your personal story and help you discover and live more of your own personal path of individuation.

The Hakomi Method is a present-focused, experiential approach to therapy that uses mindfulness, touch, and movement. Central to my practice is my use of The Hakomi Method to assist my clients in seeing themselves more.
