There is Hope.

After graduate school, I fortuitously found myself delving into the post-graduate studies of Somatic Experiencing™, and Organic Intelligence™. The gifts of these modalities are many, and the work itself can best be described as a process of nervous system re-regulation.

I bring this regulatory work into into my private practice where I have the honor of working with the bravest and most inspiring kids, teens, young adults, and their families. Together we engage in therapeutic play, somatic regulation, attachment-building, safe trauma processing, and mindfulness.

Play is a child’s most natural way of communicating. 

My career started in pediatric hospitals, joining with healthcare professionals around providing psychosocial support to patients and their families. This passion lives on through collaboration with hospitals and outpatient surgical centers that aren’t pediatric-specific facilities but where children receive medical care. The healthcare providers and I work together in shepherding subtle adjustments to their surgical units so that kids and teens are empowered by their medical experience rather than traumatized by it (and medical professionals get to feel even better about their incredibly important work!).

Learn to minimize pediatric distress in healthcare settings.

1:1 professional consultation allows me to share with other mental health practitioners what’s working so well in my private practice. The unique combination of modalities being utilized bring an ease and joy to the work, for clients and practitioners.
