I have had the pleasure of providing therapy services for over 10 years. My experience includes facilitating life skills camps for incarcerated and at-risk youth; providing counseling services to children, adolescents, and families in school, home, group home, and foster care settings; co-facilitating a women’s therapy group; providing individual psychotherapy to adults, and working with athletes and individuals with injuries. Additionally, I have experience supporting and coaching athletes of various abilities, age groups and persuasions. I understand from my own experience as a collegiate and semi-professional athlete how our identities become linked to our roles as players and team members as well as how our life-traumas, athletic training, and injuries impact our experience of ourselves and our bodies. I am inspired by the resiliency of individuals facing mental health challenges and having experienced the benefits of mental health counseling myself, I am passionate about providing the same level of support to others who may be struggling.
My specialization is in Somatic Psychotherapy and Exercise and Sport Performance. Somatic psychotherapy is based on the idea that past traumas can manifest as physical symptoms. Focusing on the connection between the mind and body can promote healing and well-being through releasing tension and other emotions. We can work together to increase awareness of physical sensations, movements, and how your body responds to different situations. I support my clients to develop a deep trust in their own intuition, a positive relationship with their bodies, increased authentic self-acceptance, and feelings of connection and confidence.
I provide a supportive, collaborative and safe experience, giving space and time to navigate through your life in your own way while assisting you with recognizing and building on your strengths as well as your internal resources. My goal is to assist you with taking ownership of your healing process, feel empowered to work toward your goals, and develop coping mechanisms that align with your values.
