About My Practice
Life offers us many opportunities to experience change, whether from loss, trauma, birth, union, separation, illness, work transitions, or relocation. Often, discomfort, even suffering, is inherent in these situations, as the fabric of life as we know it is torn, and our sense of identity wavers. But such moments may also provide the best opportunity to arrive at the heart of the matter, to discover our core strengths and resources, and deepen into the meaning of our lives. With the support we need, we can overcome obstacles to engage in many aspects of our lives in a more rewarding way.
I am willing to accompany you on this journey. In the therapeutic process, I will draw from my professional training, practice wisdom, and life experience to offer the expertise and support you may need.
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP), I have benefited from a rigorous professional education and training in all aspects of mental health and trauma. The social work orientation places the client (rather than “the problem”) at the center of the therapeutic process and emphasizes a collaborative approach. We will address your needs as you see them, in the ways that you think will work best for you. Additionally, my training in Trauma, Mindfulness and neuroscience-based modalities such as EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, and dance-movement therapy, provide me with knowledge and practice in how the mind and body are integrally related. Our primary medium of working together will be conversations, but we will pay close attention to the body and its sensations and expressions as an essential part of our dialogue. This holistic perspective enriches our inquiry into the challenges you face, and broadens our exploration of the possibilities for healing and transformation.
I also believe that the therapeutic process is greater than the sum of its parts. It is possible for two people or a group working together with positive intention within safe boundaries to tap into a profound energy and wisdom.
My life experiences in a variety of cultures around the world, and in many roles life has to offer, have contributed to my sense of compassion and faith in the project of being human. I look forward to the potential of sharing that project with you.
