Services

Welcome! Starting therapy can be daunting... I am here to help. Whether you are a pro at this and you just need a new perspective or you have never done this before and the thought of starting therapy is overwhelming, I am happy you are considering taking this chance and investing in yourself, your relationship, or your family.

I work with people of all ages, have experience working with people going through Depression, Anxiety, loss, chronic illness or pain, life transitions, and relationship conflict. I am certified in Trauma treatment and love using somatic techniques that help my clients understand the role of experiences, emotions, and relationships in our bodies and brains.

I am also a Child Development Specialist and Registered Play Therapist. I love working with children and their families. I believe that none of us exist on our own and we need the support of those who are able to help us become our best selves.

Couples

Couples walk together through life transitions and face many challenges. I use a non-blaming, compassionate approach to face relationship issues such as preparing to welcome a new baby, adjusting to life transitions, traumatic birth, reconnecting after infertility, separation, divorce, among others.

Families

I believe that people heal in the context of their relationships. I love working with families going through difficult times (loss, divorce, transition, chronic illness) and I love including family in a child's process in whatever way I can to support the child's growth. This may include Parent Support sessions or family sessions.

Individual Therapy

I use a collaborative approach grounded in self-compassion to help individuals through life's tough moments. From work-related stress and burnout, to relationship conflict, or trauma, I am honored to meet you wherever you are in your journey.

Play Therapy

Play is a child's language, therefore Play Therapy is best suited for children and teens. It allows them to express their feelings when words fail them and provides a "light" and safe environment in which such "big" and scary feelings can be explored.

Parenting Support

No one teaches us to be parents! It is the hardest job in the world and we sometimes feel so ill equipped. Parenting Support sessions provide a space for parents to explore their family dynamics and work towards a common goal.

SSP and RRP

The Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) and the Rest and Restore Protocol are practical applications of Polyvagal Theory delivered through filtered sound. They work through different pathways in the nervous system and help tone the vagus nerve, creating flexibility and increasing the capacity for regulation.

They are highly effective and based on years of research and evidence, that helps with multiple symptoms and conditions such as anxiety, depression, chronic pain, dysautonomia, sensory processing difficulties, insomnia, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), and much more.
