Specialties
Grief and Loss
Grief is deeply personal and can take many forms. Whether you are mourning a loved one, navigating ambiguous loss, managing an illness, or adjusting to life after a major change, I offer a compassionate space to process and heal at your own pace.
Self Esteem
If you are seeking more confidence and self-esteem, I will support your exploration of what makes you feel your best and how to get more of your needs met. We’ll combine talk therapy with strategies to calm the nervous system and pay special attention to your relationships and your access to self-expression and creativity.
Both planned and sudden change can bring uncertainty, loss, and identity shifts. Whether you are adjusting to a new career, relationship changes, becoming a caregiver, becoming an empty-nester, or exploring your evolving sense of self, I help clients find stability and clarity during life’s transitions.
Life Transitions
Trauma and PTSD
Healing from trauma requires a compassionate, body-aware approach built on a safe and secure therapeutic relationship. Whether from childhood experiences, medical trauma, “microaggressions”, or ongoing stress, I help clients process trauma at the level of the nervous system, fostering resilience and self-trust.
Body Oppression
If you have a body that does not conform to societal expectations—of size, ability, race, gender, beauty, etc.—you have been subject to body oppression. Most of us internalize this oppression and turn on our bodies to try to make our them conform however we can. I support folks in unlearning that oppression and moving toward Body Liberation, where all bodies are valued just as they are.
In addition to my clinical experience in these areas, I have lived experience with mental and physical disabilities, ambiguous loss, death and dying, caregiving, career changes, body image and eating concerns, weight discrimination, and blended families.
I treat adults and adolescents (15+). I do not have the specialization needed to treat personality disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorders, active eating disorders, active addiction, or oppositional/conduct disorders.
