Ways I Support You.
Somatic and Mindful Based Therapy
Drawing from two decades of high-level athletic experience and extensive yoga training, I offer unique somatic-based therapeutic interventions that help clients reconnect with their bodies' wisdom. This approach is particularly beneficial for trauma recovery, eating disorder healing, nervous system regulation, and for people that feel like that have gained insight, yet run into the familiar "nothing seems to change." My nervous-system informed combination of cognitive wisdom and witness paired with experiential interventions help clients metabolize what they feel like they "know" but cannot seem to shift. This unique grounded experience creates a powerful integrative, embodied approach to healing.
Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy
I utilize Internal Family Systems therapy, a compassion-based framework that recognizes that we all contain different "parts" within us - managers, protectors, firefighters, and exiles - who deeply need our attention and curiosity. IFS interventions support our natural capacity for healing, which happens when we listen deeply to all 'parts' of our being through the wisdom of our Self. This method is particularly effective for eating disorders, identity-healing, childhood trauma, and anyone interested in developing a more compassionate relationship with all aspects of themselves.
Couples and Relational Therapy
Using attachment theory, Emotionally-focused therapy, and Polyvagal theory, I helps couples develop the nervous system informed regulation and communication skills needed for lasting intimacy. I understand that healthy relationships require each person to be regulated and connected to themselves and each other. I have extensive experience working with high-conflict relationship systems, mixed-neurotype relationship systems, and relationships where trauma is present in one or multiple partners
Walk and Talk + Nature Based Therapy
I offer outdoor walk and talk appointments (when the weather cooperates) as part of the healing process. Using nature-based therapy, co-regulation and bilateral stimulation, these sessions offer a unique opportunity for further grounding, mindfulness, perspective and clarity.
