I believe you deserve to live a life you have freely chosen. 

That’s why I synthesize brain-body interventions to get you out of the stuck cycles of being:

• Exhausted (“I’m so tired of this”)
• Fed up (“This is NOT what I wanted my life to be like!”)
• Frustrated (“Why can’t I get anything to change?”)
• Overwhelmed (“I’m so drained and depressed”)
• Spinning your wheels (“Why can’t I make sense of this?”)
• Looping anxious thoughts (“It’s getting hard to breathe…”)
• Lashing out at the people you love (“Why can’t I stop reacting!?”)
• Withdrawing from connection (“Relationships feel too risky”)

• Numbing apathy or depression (“Its better not to feel…”)

It’s exhausting keeping this up. Its frustrating to know exactly what you want but it’s always out of reach, no matter how hard you try.

I've got a knack for seeing the big, complex picture of what’s currently going on in your life and helping you find the trailhead to getting you unstuck and moving toward the life you’ve always wanted to live.

A few things you should know about me…

I’m a softie

I’ve gone through an abundant share of sh** in my own life, so I know what pain, suffering, and major loss feels like

But I’m also a “taking names and numbers” kind of person

I don’t want you to get stuck in the crud you've gone through – let's work through what you're carrying so you can keep moving. 

Nothing’s off the table

There is no “forbidden” topic – so if you want to talk about  what's happened to you, your mistakes, your seething hatred, or your irritation with psychobabble, you’re welcome.

But you don’t have to say what you don’t want to

I will never require you to disclose something that you are not comfortable sharing. The practices I use don’t require you to describe in detail your trauma or your deepest darkest secrets.

How I work

I’ve chosen the approaches (modalities) that I use really carefully – they have to be thoroughly grounded in research, but they also have to really work in real people’s lives for the long-term (no more of this “I felt better for a little while but then my symptoms came back in a new flavor” kind of stuff).

Everything that I use is built upon years of trauma-informed study, radical body acceptance, deep compassion, and a commitment to getting you to the best version of your life.

Internal Family Systems

Somatic Therapy

Neurofeedback

Bilateral sound therapies 

Expertise

And in case my blunt candor leaves you wondering if I’m even a trained professional, let me name-drop a bit of the work that I’ve put in to get where I am:

• IFS Certified Therapist (*in progress)
• IFS Level 1 trained
• Intensive Trauma Treatment Training with Bessel van der Kolk
• Unburdening Legacy Trauma Intensive with Richard Schwartz
• Complex Trauma Certification Training Level I & II (CCTP/CCTP II) with Janina Fisher

Oh, and also…

I LOVE my job.
