Learning how to hold space for yourself and your emotions can be difficult. You deserve a space to slow down, take a breath, and connect with what matters most to you. I'm here to hold that space for you, as you are. I really cherish working with humans who are experiencing anxiety, depression, burnout, or are in the midst of pivotal life shifts. I also specialize supporting you to healing from trauma, specifically the type of trauma that’s made you feel unseen, unheard or if you've felt unloved. We'll access a place inside you that allows you to become more curious and aware of what you may be experiencing.
Together we'll dig deep, explore, and grow through your tender experiences. My holistic, trauma informed practice is an intimate, personal journey towards self compassion and self-understanding in the company of me; a non-judgmental, empathetic guide. Through mindfulness, somatic, coping practices, I'll empower you to navigate life's challenges.
I believe a vibrant emotional wellness comes from a healthy connection between the mind, body and soul. I’m dedicated to partnering with my clients to determine what health & emotional wellness looks like for them. I’m here to lead with compassion, and support you in your current season of life by providing you with practical tools, skills + understanding.
