**I'M NOT TAKING NEW CLIENTS AT THIS TIME.** Life can be challenging but it doesn't have to be overwhelming. My specialty is in working with the effects of unresolved trauma, including anxiety and depression. I incorporate a mind/body treatment approach combining somatic psychotherapy, yoga, and mindfulness all based on an understanding of the neurobiology of trauma. My hope is that I can help each person who chooses to work with me to feel empowered to become the conductor of their own journey rather than being at the mercy of past or present life circumstances.
My clients appreciate having a range of options depending on what they need in general, or from week to week. While focusing on specific goals, we may incorporate yoga breathing, stretching or strengthening, body awareness and self-regulation techniques from Somatic Experiencing, or distress tolerance skills from Dialectical Behavioral Therapy.
Clients develop their own toolkit for working with life's internal and external challenges. In this journey of life, we can make choices about how much we allow the past to define us. With understanding and the right toolkit of skills, you can learn to move confidently into the future.

This group is for trauma survivors who have been in treatment with an individual therapist and would like to build a strong toolkit of skills to help with day-to-day emotional challenges. The group combines somatic psychotherapy, DBT and relational models and is designed to gradually increase participants' emotional and body-awareness skills so that they can feel a sense of control over their emotional and behavioral responses. The group is NOT a process group. It is psycho-educational and experiential. Participants will not be asked to discuss their trauma experience(s).
