I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 35 years of experience providing short and long term psychotherapy. My years of experience have led to an orientation that integrates trauma and relational treatment with mindfulness and body-based (somatic) therapy.

I believe that people can easily become embedded in patterns of coping with life’s challenges that might have been helpful at one time, but no longer fit. Through learning about ourselves and increasing awareness of how old patterns live inside us, we can develop greater freedom from outdated beliefs and allow for greater flexibility in how we cope with life’s struggles.

Through therapy we can develop more space and safety inside ourselves and learn to regulate the emotional reactivity that can get triggered around past traumas and adverse life experiences. Working somatically with the nervous system supports greater flexibility and freedom in our life choices.
