Therapists » Licensed Professional Counselor
I work with both individuals and couples to connect to the emotions that are underneath all the conflict and dissatisfaction in their lives. Often these emotions have deep roots in the pain of the past. When we are reacting to that past pain, we reenact behaviors that helped us navigate life back then, but are no longer serving us, and in fact may be causing problems now. Using compassion, we can be with that pain and deep emotion, moving through it to new ways of being in relation to others. Only then can we realize the connection and love that all of us desire. My trainings and influences include Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Mindful Self-Compassion, and mind-body connection practices such as yoga, meditation, and nervous system regulation. I am explicitly secular in my work and I am passionate about working with LGTBQ+ folx. There is absolutely nothing wrong with wanting to be happy. The truth is that happiness is what we all want. The first step is daring to believe we deserve it and that it is possible for us. If you dare, come take this journey with me. “Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing there is a field. I'll meet you there.” - Rumi
