Are you ready to bridge the mind-body connection and show up wholly and authentically for yourself and your community? Whatever that looks like for you, I strive to create a space where you feel safe to explore without judgment, feel heard and valued. This might include anything from joking and laughing to moving the body through deep breathing. My work is trauma informed, approached through a feminist lens, and queer-affirming.

If you are reading this, there’s a good chance you feel unknown. Your family and friends think highly of you, but you’re afraid that might be because you’ve fooled them. Deep down you feel like there is something wrong with you, and no amount of “doing the right thing” can change that. You’ve spent much of your life between procrastination and perfection, but nothing really calms the racing thoughts and anxiety. A lifetime of trying to fix what feels broken in your family has taken its toll. It’s actually been pretty tough—and there’s a lot of pain.

Life is full of experiences that hold a lasting effect on us and deter us from moving forward, but we also have a long list of personal strengths within our “SELF” that too often go unnoticed due to the overwhelm of life in general. I will work with you to identify, and utilize these strengths by processing through past trauma, stress and anxiety, as well as the heaviness of a lack of self-worth. I work with individuals of all identities, but being someone who has personal life experiences with addiction, identifies as LGBTQ and is an adoptive parent, I have developed a special interest in these populations.
