What is Therapy with you like?
Sometimes life is challenging and overwhelming. I will support you in exploring patterns and beliefs you might not even be aware of, that get in the way of living the life you want. Trauma and difficult experiences are often held in the body. Working holistically with body, mind and spirit, I can help you release and integrate these experiences to free a greater sense of choice and aliveness. I am passionate about providing a safe, non-judgmental space in therapy and be an authentic partner and guide on your journey, to help you overcome your challenges and work towards your goals.
What Are your Qualifications?
I am a licensed psychologist in Colorado and California. I hold a PhD in Psychology from Saybrook University, San Francisco, and an MA in Women’s Spirituality from New College of California. I am a certified Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner, a biological approach to increasing resilience and resolving trauma, and trained in the Hakomi approach to mindful, somatic, experiential psychotherapy. I am certified in Movement Based Expressive Arts from Tamalpa Institute, and in Person-Centered Expressive Arts through Dr. Natalie Rogers at Saybrook University.
What else about you?
Prior to becoming a therapist, I spent over 20 years as a scientist in academia and as a professional in the biotech industry. This work has given me an appreciation for the pressures of high-paced job environments and the challenges of maintaining a satisfying life-work balance. As a dancer, visual artist, Qi-Gong practitioner and committed meditator, I bring a deep compassion for human suffering and our amazing resilience to my work.
What are you Passionate about?
I believe that everyone can find their unique path towards healing and wholeness, no matter how difficult life might be at the moment. Each one of us has an innate wisdom that already knows answers to our difficulties. As we begin to slow down in our therapy sessions and bring care and attention, it begins to unfold naturally leading you towards the life you’ve always wanted.
