About

Therapy can be a compassionate space for insight, personal development, and healing. Each one of us has our own unique history and growth process. My goal is to support your overall mental, emotional, and relational health. I work with anxiety, trauma, grief, and internal self criticism. Within these experiences I specialize in: Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD); trauma including dissociation, depersonalization, derealization, and fear; grief and bereavement; intrusive self criticism; and helping partners identify and repair unhealthy patterns and coping strategies related to these experiences. I provide a holistic and integrated approach to therapy, meeting you where you are and listening to your unique story. Together, we will create a therapeutic path toward your personal goals. By focusing on your inner wisdom and compassion, we can navigate your healing journey, addressing experiences and fostering growth in a way that feels right for you. I believe that the client-therapist alliance is the most important aspect of therapy. It is fundamental to our work that you feel safe, seen, and supported. Our sessions together focus on your needs and goals, in an environment centered in compassion, non-judgment, and deep listening. If this resonates with you, please contact me for a free consultation. Specialties: I specialize in working with OCD and anxiety using a blend of Compassion-Focused Therapy and somatic approaches. My work is informed by advanced training in trauma and dissociation, including years of study with a leading expert in the field. I also have extensive experience in Compassionate Mind Training, helping clients work through self-criticism, shame, and deep grief Credentials & Experience: Before starting my private practice, I spent over a decade in care-focused roles, including Director of Care Services and senior care team member for a global peer-support organization, Director of a wilderness adventure and leadership program for teenagers, and as a meditation teacher
