My intention is to gently guide you towards your own innate wisdom and fully support you as your transformation unfolds. I prefer to take a direct, experiential approach, meeting each client where they are at and honoring their individual needs. I specialize in body-based ( somatic) inquiry to address a variety of issues, with a specific interest in treating trauma, relationship issues, and addiction. My therapeutic approach is uniquely inspired from my own personal experience with healing, drawing from both ancient Eastern philosophy and modern research-based theories of attachment and developmental trauma.

I’m all about helping people heal from trauma, and I draw from a range of proven methods, including Somatic EMDR, Mindfulness, and Internal Family Systems.
Many people are suffering from anxiety and the effects of trauma in our times. You are not alone. You may constantly prioritize others' needs over your own, feeling emotionally exhausted and undervalued. Do you struggle to set boundaries and often find yourself in relationships where you feel invisible, taken for granted, or unable to express your true feelings? These patterns can leave you feeling disconnected from yourself, anxious, and unsure of your identity outside of your role in others' lives.

It can be really challenging to keep up with demands and the pressure of the lives. The world we live in doesn’t always value our authentic selves or our emotional needs. It is up to each of to do the work to uncover our needs, to value them and find healing. Healing involves awakening to our emotions, processing the events that have shaped us and finding/creating new meaning in our lives. Join me on this journey to explore and connect with the deep emotional content that shapes our existences. Until we fully feel and come to terms with what has happened in the past, we will be driven by it.

Hello, and welcome! No matter what brings you, I'm glad you're here. Our modern world is relentless; it can easily hinder the ability to identify and express our true selves, find mind-body-spirit alignment, and meaningfully tend to the breadth and complexity of the human experience. I strive to create a space in the world to counterbalance that - a place where any person in any circumstance can go to feel safe, seen, connected, and inspired to embark on the journey of becoming a whole Self living a purposeful life. It is my hope that our sessions can be that place for you, until you are able to create one of your own.

Every human was created with an innate capacity to heal. Over the course of our lives, we can encounter challenges and accumulate experiences that distance us from that amazing capacity that we hold. While these obstacles can leave us with experiences of pain or suffering, it is through moving through them that we open the door for a deep transformation where we can come to know our true selves. Whether you feel overtaken by depression, anxiety, overwhelm, or trauma, this inner knowledge awaits as a path to healing.

Calling in all the misfits, the sensitives, the non-conformists, the farmers, the artists, the parents and caregivers, the schemers and dreamers, the doers, the neurodivergent wizards, and of course the wonderful LGBTQIA+ folx...here you will find a non-judgmental space filled with warmth, compassion, and humor (plus real practical skills and solutions). Life can get messy and weird- sometimes we all just need some extra support along the way. It helps to tell our story to someone, to be witnessed and accepted in all our pain and trauma- it sounds simple, but it can be transformative.

I am in awe of the power of the human spirit. I am inspired by the courage and strength it takes for a person to come to a place where they feel they no longer can be alone in a personal crisis and they reach out for support. It is in these very moments where grace is in motion and the potential for transformation is most fertile. I am passionate about working with others and feel honored in being part of someone's journey of self-discovery as they uncover the root and causes of their lack of connection with others, depression, anxiety, and grief.
