Life can feel overwhelming, chaotic and lonely at times, but you don’t have to face all your challenges alone. If you are at a crossroads and ready to take the next step, feeling burnt out, or experiencing distress, I can help. Together, we will figure out how to lighten your load so you can feel better prepared to face life's challenges. I work with adults (16+) looking to heal from difficult relationships, trauma, life transitions, and nervous system dysregulation. I specialize in young adults and artists looking to better manage stress on stage. Please visit my website for more details.
Through EMDR, somatic therapy, psychotherapy and sometimes even yoga, I hold space for my clients to explore and feel, while giving them the tools and safety to help them heal from painful past experiences. I believe in a non-pathologizing and holistic approach to health and wellness and think it’s crucial to welcome all parts of an individual.
People have an inherent ability to heal and I look forward to witnessing this process and to providing a client-centered, anti-oppressive and trauma-sensitive space. If this speaks to you, please don't hesitate to reach out for a free 15 min consult!
