I offer Individual Counseling specializing in trauma recovery, grief and loss, relationship issues, and personal empowerment. I am a Certified EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) Therapist. I completed the Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP) training through the Somatic Experiencing Trauma Institute. I assist clients in re-learning to trust their inner compass and embrace their own capacity for growth and wellness. Part of that growth is in building relationship with themselves, and with others, to develop and or enhance intimacy, community, and connection.
I believe past trauma is literally embodied. Mind, body, emotions, and spirit are inseparable, and eventually have to be addressed in trauma recovery. I find that alternative healing disciplines that work with the body and psyche combine synergistically with counseling to identify, explore, and resolve past experiences that block wellness.
I believe when you are committed to growth and change, you can experience a renewed sense of empowerment; a joy and verve in living everyday; a reconnection to your authentic voice; a groundedness and a willingness to take up space and live your life more fully.
