I believe that focusing my work in certain areas allows me to serve clients more thoughtfully and effectively. By specializing in the experiences I know most deeply, I can bring both skill and compassion to our work together—helping you feel seen, understood, and supported in ways that truly fit your needs.

Schedule Free Consultation

I hold space for women—mothers or not—who’ve been stretched thin by a world that asks too much and offers too little, guiding them gently back to the quiet truth of who they are.

Our culture places immense pressure on women to carry more than they should, often at the expense of their own needs.

My clinical focus centers on the psychological wellbeing of all women, as they navigate the complex demands of modern life. I specialize in helping women manage anxiety, burnout, identity shifts, and the emotional transitions that accompany different seasons of adulthood. Grounded in psychodynamic understanding and supported by evidence-based interventions, my approach honors both the inner experience and the external pressures shaping women’s lives today.

Grief?

Struggling with anticipatory grief. This occurs before the actual loss (may be due to terminal illness or late stage aging).

Death of a loved one. This is following the death of a partner, parent, child, sibling, or close friend.

Disenfranchisement grief. This is a loss that society may not fully validate. Loss of a pet, miscarriage or estrangement.

Unfullfilled role. This may be due to deeply desiring a role such as motherhood or marriage and being unable to experience this.

Healing Trauma

Here’s what we’ll do together

Trauma-focused therapy at Shore & Soul integrates somatic healing—recognizing that trauma is held not only in memory but also in the body. The work centers on restoring a sense of safety and regulation through evidence-based approaches such as somatic healing, mindfulness, and body awareness techniques. By helping clients notice and release stored tension, trauma therapy supports both emotional integration and physiological calm, rebuilding trust in the self and in relationships.

Trauma work in therapy is about gently making sense of what your body and mind have been carrying. It’s not about reliving the past, it’s about creating safety in the present, understanding how past experiences still shape current patterns, and learning to respond rather than react. Together, we build tools for calm, resilience, and reconnection to your authentic self.

Therapy for Helping Professionals

The Importance of Inner Work for Clinicians

Therapists are shaped not only by education and experience, but also by their own personal histories. Unresolved pain, early attachment dynamics, or past relational trauma can sometimes echo within the therapeutic relationship—subtly influencing how we attune, interpret, and respond. Engaging in your own therapy provides an opportunity to bring these patterns into awareness, strengthening both your emotional presence and your clinical effectiveness.

Doing this work is not a sign of deficiency—it’s a hallmark of integrity, humility, and depth in our profession.

Even those who hold space for others deserve a place to rest, reflect, and heal. I offer therapy for therapists, supervisors, and helping professionals who are navigating burnout, compassion fatigue, or the emotional weight of this work.

These sessions are grounded in psychodynamic and trauma-responsive care, creating a confidential space where you can explore your own experiences outside the role of caretaker. Together, we focus on restoring balance, deepening self-awareness, and reconnecting with the purpose and meaning that led you into this field in the first place.

Relationships & Connection

Relationships are where our deepest patterns and needs are revealed—our longing to be understood, valued, and safe. In therapy, we focus on emotional attunement: helping partners slow down, listen differently, and respond with empathy rather than defense. Grounded in trauma-informed care, this work explores how past experiences and unspoken wounds shape current reactions and distance. We also acknowledge the societal pressures that influence relationships—expectations around gender, caregiving, and success—that can quietly strain connection. Together, we rebuild safety, trust, and closeness so that love feels like a steady, healing space again.

FAQs

  • If you’ve already read the books, tried counseling and something still feels unsettled — this work is likely right for you. My approach is designed for individuals and couples ready to go beyond surface-level coping. We explore the deeper layers of your story and how past experiences, attachment patterns, and unspoken grief may be shaping the way you think, feel, and connect. This is not quick-fix therapy; it’s precise, compassionate, and meant to create lasting change.

  • My work is grounded in trauma-informed and somatic principles, integrating psychodynamic depth with evidence-based techniques. I pay close attention to the nervous system, attachment patterns, and emotional attunement between people. The process is collaborative — both steady and intuitive — helping you move from simply surviving to feeling deeply regulated and connected. Clients often describe this experience as both clinically effective and deeply human.

  • Therapy is an investment in your long-term wellbeing. Some clients notice relief within the first few sessions as they begin to understand and name what’s been happening internally. The deeper shifts — emotional regulation, relational healing, renewed self-trust — unfold gradually as the nervous system learns safety and the mind gains clarity. This is highly individualized, but the transformation that occurs through consistent, attuned work is profound and enduring.
