You matter. I seek to highlight & build upon your unique strengths with a focus on overall wellness in mind, body, spirit & community. I believe we all have the tools to reach our highest potential. I aim to understand what might be getting in the way of you being your most authentic, talented self. I specialize in helping others access & heal their pain by engaging the nervous system to unlock trauma & emotions to release them. Body integration allows us to feel alive & open to get more of life. I blend evidenced-based practices such as somatic, breathwork, mindfulness, EMDR, CBT, & EFT under a psychodynamic therapy lens.
I integrate evidenced-based practices such as breath-work, mindfulness, EMDR, CBT, Internal Family Systems, and Emotionally Focused Therapy, all under a psychodynamic therapy lens.
I work with all populations, individuals, couples, & groups. I understand what it takes to transform people & environments to realize their potential. As an artist, I see the beauty & potential of everyone I work with. I utilize creative approaches to co-create a unique healing pathway for each client. I'd love the opportunity to partner with you.
