A Little About Me

As Glennon Doyle Melton says, “You are not a mess. You are a feeling person in a messy world.”

Most of our wounding is experienced in relationship, and so our healing eventually necessitates that component too. I’m a fully-licensed LMFT, with over 10 years of direct client experience. I offer a compassionate, collaborative, skilled home base that responds to the challenges you bring. I provide a fearlessness to being with your hardest stuff.

I’m certified in Somatic Experiencing® (SE), a Trauma-informed modality, inviting and building greater awareness of your body (incl. nervous system) and mind. We'll inquire into and respond to your sensations, feelings, thoughts, narratives, etc. What your trauma or stress responses continue to disavow in you, or disconnect you from, this approach can help resolve and heal, as you contact more solidity, agency, flow and resiliency.

Reach out...I offer a FREE 20-minute phone consultation.

We'll move at a pace that's attuned to you, balancing qualities of relief, while leaning into your growing edges. Together we can work to help you be in better relationship and balance with yourself and others, build resources, connect to your rich inner life and greater clarity, and create a more intentional path.

I came to this therapeutic work through my own mid-life awakening, discovered through uncovering my essential self in my own psychotherapy, so I bring a strong passion to this work. I welcome diversity of all kinds, couples/triads, LGBTQQIA. It would be a privilege to walk this path with you.
