Welcome! As a therapist who specializes in trauma recovery as well as inner journey work and nervous system recovery, I am experienced in helping my clients find their joy and express their most authentic selves, from deep healing to a more coaching style of transformational guidance. Using mindfulness, radical compassion, somatic awareness, internal family systems theory, and EMDR, I have witnessed incredible transformation in the lives of my clients. I’m truly honored to do this work. As a person with my own complex trauma history, I've experienced the challenges of learning regulation in my nervous system again. It's worth it.
Working with me you can expect a humorous and loving approach to wellness. I enjoy teaching strategies for regulation through somatic awareness, trauma-informed yoga, vagus nerve toning, and other “bio hacks”, and building insight with intuition and metaphors from a variety of cultures and ways of thinking.
The most common comments I receive from clients are that I am real, that I am funny, that I am easy to talk to, and that people love being in my office. People often say I’m not like other therapists- and then add that it’s a good thing! I offer remote sessions and in-person at my Chico location. I may have an opening- feel free to text me or give me a call!
