I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Advanced level Somatic Experiencing (SE) practitioner. My beliefs are that healing is a journey and lies within each of us. Therapy is a collaborative approach between therapist and client. The therapist merely acts as a guide for the client to find the right path of healing.
My passion is to help others overcome life’s challenges and come through with a renewed perspective and a stronger sense of self. My own journey through chronic pain and illness led me to the body centered therapy approach, Somatic Experiencing (SE):
Somatic Experiencing therapy (SE) is a body focused trauma therapy created by Dr. Peter Levine. Many of the trauma based therapies fail to connect the mind to the body to re-negiotiate trauma memories. The body and mind are inevitably connected. Somatic Experiencing is an approach to treating individuals affected by trauma. It is a very gentle and powerful therapeutic intervention for persons of all ages affected by trauma. SE is also a very helpful intervention for individuals suffering from chronic pain and chronic health conditions.

I’ve worked with adults, adolescents, and children with a variety of therapeutic interventions. I have extensive experience working with depression, anxiety, and PTSD. If you’re troubled by life’s challenges and don’t know where to turn, let me help you unlock your healing journey within!
