Welcome all! If you’re here you’re already in an expanded state, as you’re opening yourself up to receive help that you absolutely deserve. You’ll find I approach the healing process by centering what love is asking of us at all times, both internally and in our relationships. My interest in the unconscious has drawn me to weave together psychoanalytic, somatic, hypnotherapy, and bio-field therapy with the aim of integrating all facets of the self for people, their animal companions, and the land and environmental systems we’re a part of. I take a warm, culturally informed, integrative, whole-body body approach, and enjoy working with adults interested in developing an intimate relationship with themselves, and a therapeutic relationship that can facilitate emotionally transformative experiences.
My curiosity about the mind /body/ spirit connection continues to fuel ongoing education focused on integrating and releasing unconscious emotion on all levels, and on tapping into one’s innate ability for healing. I am a certified Neuro-Emotional Technique (NET) practitioner, have completed in-depth clinical hypnosis trainings through the Society for Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis (SCEH), studied an abundance of clinically validated breathwork and meditation practices, and obtained my certificate in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy from the Wright Institute Los Angeles.
Further, my passion for the profound healing animal relationships can provide started at a young age, spurring over a decade of fostering and rehabilitation for cats and dogs. These relationships created a deep reverence for the living ecosytems we all inhabit, as animals and all facets of nature are compassionate, keenly attuned witnesses in the healing process. I am a member of the American Psychological Association Human Animal-Interaction: Research and Practice Division, as the APA honors these connections that can be some of the first forms of safe, secure attachment.
