I work with adults of all ages using clinical, somatic and expressive modalities.

My work integrates evidence-based frameworks such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), motivational interviewing (MI) and mindfulness with an expressive arts and somatic approach.

Creativity in session need not take artistic form but rather informs my orientation towards heart and body-centered processes as vehicles of experience and expression. The expressive modalities we may draw from, however, include visual art, writing, movement and dramatic enactment.

My somatic orientation is primarily concerned with grounding, increasing contact with the reality of bodily and lived experience as well as self-expression utilizing principles from bioenergetic analysis (BA) and more subtly, somatic experiencing (SE).

I work with issues related to:

  • Anxiety and depression

  • Grief and loss

  • Relationships

  • Trauma

  • Addiction

  • Eating disorders

  • Body image

  • Perfectionism

  • Life transitions

  • Identity

I support growth and recovery towards:

  • Coping skills acquisition and behavioral change

  • Effective communication

  • Self-compassion and acceptance

  • Psychological flexibility and resilience

  • Emotional and creative expression

  • Somatic vitality

  • Relational authenticity

  • Personal, creative and spiritual development

  • Post-traumatic growth

  • Self-trust
