"I warmly welcome you to the transformative process of therapy just as you are. I facilitate your growth and healing as your guide, witness, and companion.
I'll bring my non-judgmental curiosity, unconditional acceptance, and collaboration into our work. I'll also challenge you when appropriate. I identify as a highly sensitive person (HSP) of gifted intelligence, both of which support this process. My style is active, so I ask a lot of questions that help guide you toward your own discoveries.
My approach is mindfulness-based and grounded in somatic, psychodynamic, and transpersonal theories. We'll focus on the here & now, while gently cultivating a deeper relationship to your body and inner parts. I am certified in the Hakomi method of experiential psychotherapy and Janina Fisher's trauma treatment. My robust training in somatic modalities – Polyvagal theory, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy (Pat Ogden), Somatic Experiencing (Peter Levine), and the Adult Attachment Repair Model – integrate well with alternative frameworks including IFS parts work, Drama therapy, Gestalt, Systems theory, and AEDP (Diana Fosha), so I can tailor treatment to your individual needs."
Psychotherapy sessions are in-person at the Pacific Grove office location when possible. Online telehealth appointments are also available.
A wide variety of topics can be addressed with psychotherapy in individual work, couples work, or family therapy. Keep reading below for additional areas of expertise.
