Depth Psychotherapy
Interpersonal
Analytical
Whole Person
I consider myself a depth psychotherapist. My approach is attachment-oriented. My style is interpersonal and analytical. I look at the whole person and believe you know yourself better than anyone. I work together with you to explore the issues you find important so that we may begin to uncover the deeper parts of you that seek to be reawakened.
Therapy looks different for everyone. Some therapy is brief and is useful for addressing a specific situation. And some therapy is more long term, more in-depth, focusing on the deeper feelings that live in the unconscious mind.
Therapy can help shift a deeper sense of purpose and meaning to create greater room for living more authentically.
As you consider what type of therapist will work best for you, feel free to call me anytime to set up a free consultation. I’m happy to talk for 10 or 15 minutes so you may get a sense of me and to answer any questions you might have. I look forward to hearing from you.

By breathing, you get to understand so many things about yourself.
It is a very special feeling when our internal and external worlds meet, offering an experience of mind and body integration. And…this can be quite a challenging feat, especially when the practical aspects of our daily living require a lot of our energy and time. A breathwork practice with attention to hearing the body can help with this. I invite you to join me for guided breathwork sessions to help reconnect with yourself, your body—to become reacquainted with you again.
There are many ways to enter the body, one powerful way is with the use of breath. I use various breathwork methods to help relax the mind, work through body image issues, traumas, and activate core energy to reengage with the body—to reconnect with your inner knowing.
My style takes the longview of breathwork—slow and calm. Breathing is not an event, it’s a daily practice. I am informed by Native American and Eastern styles of breathing, including classic pranayama—we go inward to connect with mind and body, interweaving several breathing techniques to take us to our inner sense of knowing.
I would be happy to talk with you anytime regarding any further questions you may have about somatic breathwork, community offerings, or to schedule an individual session. I look forward to breathing with you.
