I use relationship building as the foundation of my therapy practice. I believe feeling seen, held, and safe are vital components of being able to grow.

With all my clients I take a Neurobiological approach, which is a fancy way to say I think a lot about nervous systems and how to regulate them. Our nervous systems need co-regulation before they can lear...

Have you had a traumatic experience that left you feeling disconnected and having a hard time trusting people, with the need to protect and numb yourself? These things can impact our...

They often over-extend themselves in the name of service to others. On the outside, my clients look like they have it together but feel int...
