My approach to psychotherapy comes out of my training in Somatic Psychology, which is based on the premise that the mind and body are interconnected.
As a therapist, I provide a supportive space that honors and welcomes every part of your experience with compassion and respect. I will collaborate with you, to help you get more of your needs met so that you may live a more empowered life. Together we will explore vulnerable feelings and old wounds that may play out as self-injurious patterns in daily life, and creating healthier actions.
You can expect me to be kind, clear and honest in my approach. I will ask a lot of questions to help you examine your underlying beliefs and to help you more deeply know yourself. I will also use more somatically-based tools such as mindfulness meditation and body awareness. Learning more about what you do and how you do it can help you make choices about how you want to be in your life.
Psychotherapy can take many forms, from exploring issues around intimacy, to looking at unwanted behaviors, to grieving unacknowledged losses. Each session brings with it great potential for new insights–in the service of leading a more empowered life.
Together we will co-create a space where all the parts of you are welcome. Let’s get curious about your experience.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
