As a seasoned psychologist, I am well versed in many therapeutic approaches and will tailor my approach to meet your needs. I am particularly interested in somatic approaches to psychotherapy to deepen one's connection to self, to facilitate living from a place of wholeness and authenticity. I've completed Level I & II training in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, a specialized treatment for trauma and developmental/attachment wounding developed by Pat Ogden. I've been certified in Judith Blackstone's Realization Process for embodiment and spiritual psychotherapy. I often utilize an internal parts model to understand the self.

​

I work with clients who present with a variety of issues such as anxiety, depression, grief, eating disorders, relational problems, life transitions, attachment traumas and wounds, existential and spiritual issues. I do not specialize in severe dissociation or severe addictions.

 

In addition to my formal education, my work is informed by extensive personal study in nondual spiritual traditions that focus on the union of spirit and matter (e.g., Integral Spirituality, Realization Process, Tibetan Buddhism, Hinduism) and body-based movement schools that enhance somatic awareness (e.g., 5rhythms dance, Feldenkrais movement, Iyengar Yoga). I have an interest in uniting conventional psychotherapy approaches and contemplative practices into a coherent whole.

 

I am honored to be a spiritual teacher in the nondual mystery school known as Trillium Awakening. This path helps individuals awaken to their divinely human nature, relaxing into the paradox of our identity as both finitely human and infinitely divine. This path also focuses on conscious mutual relationships in which self and other are recognized as unique expressions of Consciousness. 

 

I am an avid explorer of the inner and outer dimensions of life and engage practices such as 5rhythms dance, yoga, rock climbing, meditation, photography, and intentional creativity as taught by Shiloh Sophia McCloud.
