Are you are a competent, capable woman+ who's built a good life for yourself despite a crazy family life growing up? Do you still feel like something's wrong, but you don't know why? Do you have a parent that stresses more than supports you? I help women+ who are stopping the cycle of family trauma - for themselves and the next generation. Healing from the past while coping with the present is hard. Don't do it alone. Let's work together to help you heal and live your life in confidence and empowerment. Shoot me an email and let's set up a time to chat about how I can help!
Using Sensorimotor Psychotherapy and other techniques, I help clients work deeply to heal the impact of painful experiences in childhood. My style is that I'm "real" with you, love to laugh with you, and deeply hold space for your vulnerable moments. I believe in your capacity to heal. Let's unlock it together!
If I sound like the right fit for you, I'd love to talk more about how I can help you feel better and reach your goals. Let's connect! Visit my website and shoot me an email or phone call. Things can get better. Let's get started. :-)

In session, I trust that your feelings and behaviors make sense in light of your lived experience. I am not really focused on a diagnosis, so much as what happened and what your nervous system is telling us is needed for healing. Then we focus on creating the opportunity for your mind and body to heal in the ways it knows how, but just needs a little facilitation. We've got this!
