Education & Experience

I have a diverse trauma and attachment focused practice. My interest in somatic relational work comes directly from years of work in the theatre and arts where I trained in multiple somatic practices. I have a master's in theatre and completed most of a Phd where dissertation work was focused on embodied practice. As a teacher, I found my students were increasingly shut down, anxious and demonstrating symptoms of trauma which led me to leave academia to pursue training in psychotherapy. I am psychodynamically trained through masters level training in integrative existential psychotherapy and pull from multiple modalities to meet the unique needs of individual clients. I am EMDRIA certified and have taken multiple trauma informed trainings that include DBR, IFS, Ego State, as well as EFT for couples, CBT, DBT and IPT.
