No matter our wounds or history, I believe in our capacity to return to wholeness through the body's innate wisdom and self-healing abilities. My clinical practice is trauma-informed, attachment-oriented and rooted in mind-body-spirit unity. I offer the safe ground of radical inclusivity, unconditional positive regard, curiosity and compassion - a place in which to explore, discover, play, grieve, welcome, empower and transform. Integrating Eastern, Western, depth- and Earth-based modalities, my work is designed to be holistic and inclusive, supporting clients to connect with their most authentic selves.

Choosing to see a therapist is about you wanting to make some changes in yourself or in your life. The most important job I have as your therapist is to provide you with a non-judgmental space to explore your issues, your feelings and to help you find a solution that will ultimately make you feel better.

I provide support to individuals, couples and children who want a sense of meaning, authenticity and agency in their lives. Challenges I work with are trauma( PTSD & CPTSD), anxiety, depression, relationship issues, identity issues, mens issues, ADHD/Autism/neurodivergence, eco-anxiety and psychedelic integration. I help couples recognize repeating patterns, substituting defensiveness with clear vulnerable communication, and strengthen intimacy.

If you’ve found your way here, your world may feel upside down and out of control. It's possible your body feels the same. Many of the perimenopausal women I work with are in the throes of mood fluctuations, vacillating between anxiety, sadness and rage. Some report brain fog, insomnia, and other physical challenges. And then there’s the existential crunch of entering a new phase of life and managing the personal, interpersonal dynamics and social pressures that go along with midlife. However you feel, whatever you think about this transition is okay. There is no right way to navigate perimenopause and I am here to help.

I specialize in working with the queer/LGBTQIA+ community, eating disorders, and severe mental illness such as bipolar disorder. I also work with those dealing with general life stressors, people seeking to improve their relationship with money, and those recovering from high control groups. You may feel anxious or depressed, that your old ways of doing things are not working anymore. You may feel overwhelmed and like you could use a supportive guide in facing life's challenges. In our sessions, we can explore all of this and more in a supportive, safe, and authentic environment. It is an honor to meet you.

"Whoever you are, no matter how lonely, the world offers itself to your imagination...." In Wild Geese, Mary Oliver does not promise salvation, but points to the okay-ness of your being, to the importance of your inner world. How do you, in your imagination, relate to the world? You can find peace inside yourself. I believe therapy is about wholeness-it's not about rejecting who you already are, but about including all aspects of yourself. With compassion and honesty, let's explore the full you so that you may find your inner peace.
