Do you often feel misunderstood or have difficulty feeling like you belong? As a therapist, I am committed to helping others feel understood and appreciated for who they truly are. I view the process of therapy as a collaborative partnership, guiding individuals to uncover their own deep wisdom and power to create a life of purpose.

I place an emphasis on rapport building by providing therapeutic support rooted in curiosity and compassion. I am passionate about supporting people with complex trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, chronic health conditions, LGBTQIA+ challenges and substance abuse utilizing an integrative framework that is rooted in somatic (body centered) therapeutic practices, supporting each individual in enhancing their connection between their mind and body.

FAQ

What is Trauma?

Trauma is defined as a deeply distressing or overwhelming experience that causes significant and mental and emotional disturbance, as well as severe dysregulation to the nervous system. It can be a single event or a series of related events that causes a sense of fear, helplessness, lack of safety, and results in significant impairments to daily functioning and often leaves lasting negative effects on an individual's well-being.

What is the Window of Capacity?

The Window of Capacity is also commonly referred to as the Window of Tolerance, which is considered to be the optimal zone of arousal for the nervous system, from which a person can function and respond to stress effectively. Trauma can narrow the window of tolerance, making it harder for someone to stay in that balanced zone of emotional regulation. This happens because trauma over activates the nervous system, making it more reactive and less flexible. The brain and body stay on high alert (hyperarousal) interpreting the world as unsafe even when it isn’t or can get caught in numbness, disassociation, freeze (hypoarousal). Healing from trauma often involves re-expanding the window, so a person can better tolerate a wider range of emotions and experiences without becoming overwhelmed or shutting down.

How will I get the most out of a therapy session?

In order to gain the most benefit from a therapy session I encourage you to come with as much openness, honesty and self-awareness as you are able to, so we can work in tandem, to support you in gaining relief.

You will be provided with options for between session integration practices, including (journaling, breathing techniques, mindfulness and compassion practices) which you are encouraged to use, to promote neuroplasticity (brain’s ability to form new neural connections), and improve your emotional health.

What can I expect during the free consultation?

The free 15 minute phone consultation will serve as a space to discuss what you are looking for in a therapeutic relationship/experience and for us to collaborate on the best methodologies to support you, and discern if we are a good fit.
