Expertise Meets Compassion
Welcome. For a moment let’s leave the acronyms, credentials, certificates, and trainings at the door. These are important, yes, but what I am offering is to meet your humanity with mine. You see, this world is a difficult place to live in, and because it is difficult we struggle. That struggle is your body and your system responding appropriately to a wounded world. You say depression, and I hear a rich history of grief, loss, disappointment, and relationship wounds, and I say, “of course you are grieving, what else would there be?” This can be said with so many things that we have experienced and the ways that we are holding those experiences in our bodies, in our minds, and dare I say in our souls. And as we sit together in our shared humanity, we will walk this journey towards healing and wholeness. Not because there is anything that is “wrong” with you, but because this world, and this existence has been a lot. So please, come on in, take a seat, and allow me to bear witness to your journey. And, when you feel ready, I can help you and your system to lay these things down, because you deserve to be free.

How We Work Together
Every journey is unique, which is why I combine three deep ways of healing to help you feel whole. We use IFS to get to know the different parts of you, EMDR to help your brain reprocess memories that feel stuck or heavy, and Somatic IFS to gently listen to your body through breath and movement. These paths are woven together at your own pace, ensuring you feel safe and supported as we move toward lasting healing.
