    About Me

    Hi, I'm Page.
    ​
    One of the most important aspects of therapy is the connection we create together. I know how important it is to feel safe and understood in therapy, and I’m here to create that space with you.

    As a certified Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP), trained in EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and other body-based modalities, I specialize in helping clients find lasting relief from challenges like depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, addiction, and codependency. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or working through pain from the past, I’m here to help you find relief and build a life that feels more like your own.

    While many clients begin to notice relief early on, deeper healing—like healing trauma and creating new habits—takes time, patience, and care. Together, we’ll explore your goals and move toward a life that feels aligned with your authentic self.

    I work with adults, teens, and families, and I believe the healing we create in therapy can ripple into your relationships and daily life. My approach focuses on helping you reconnect with your body and inner wisdom. Let’s explore this path together, toward the life you envision.

    Currently, I’m pursuing a Ph.D. in Somatic Psychology, with a focus on developing best practices for supporting individuals with childhood trauma and skills for regulating the nervous system. My work centers on fostering a deep sense of embodiment and wholeness, aiming to help people to find greater ease, resilience, and connection.

    Why Psychotherapy?

    It can help with

    Forest Trees

    I can help you explore the roots of your addictions and help you find tools to reduce your dependence on things that no longer serve who you are becoming. I am comfortable and experienced in working within 12-step and harm-reduction frameworks.

    Trauma

    Traumatic memories can be processed in small, manageable pieces, allowing the body to heal without feeling overwhelmed.

    Oriental Lotus
    Grief

    Having lost someone close to me from cancer, I feel prepared to guide you through the confusing and conflicting experience of grief. I will help shine a light for you, so you can attend to these feelings effectively as you recover from loss.

    Balancing Rocks
    LGBTQ+/Sexuality

    I will work with you to nourish and support your authenticity and self-acceptance.

    Love
    Attachment

    Together, let's explore the roots of how you feel within relationships and help you build a more secure attachment within yourself so that you can feel more secure in relation to people in your life.

    Depression and Anxiety

    Are depression and/or anxiety inhibiting your life? I can facilitate you in reducing these symptoms so you can feel more like yourself.

    How I Work

    I believe in a holistic approach to therapy that involves the whole person, including Somatic Experiencing™, EMDR, and other body-based approaches to treating trauma. Somatic Experiencing is a form of alternative therapy aimed at relieving the symptoms of trauma by focusing on your perceived body sensations. I am curious about the interconnectedness of the body, mind, and spirit and I bring patience, warmth, and heart-centered listening to this exploration.
