Are you tired of being told your thoughts are the problem? Have you been labeled as "too sensitive?" If you are looking to heal the body which holds our pain and trauma and become more empowered to understand your own nervous system, then we may be a good fit. I work with womxn and non-binary clients who experience chronic pain, chronic illness, anxiety, depression, or trauma. I am LGBTQIA+ allied, social justice, and feminist therapist. Clients I work with come in when experiencing life transition, relationship stress, new health diagnoses, career changes, increased pain, or family-of-origin pain.

Welcome. You have started an important search. Finding the right therapist isn’t always easy, and I encourage you to listen to what feels right for you. My work starts with you and what you are looking to address. We will explore the contributing factors to what you want to work on and develop a deeper understanding of your psychological reality. First and foremost, I offer a safe and non-judgmental container for exploration. Nothing is too small or big for this work. My goal is to help you gain insights into your relational and habitual patterns in service of having more agency in your life and being able to feel free to be you.

Welcome. You find yourself wanting to feel better, and are ready to locate some sturdiness. Perhaps depression, anxiety has been too much, or you are struggling with a difficult traumatic life experience, chronic pain, grief, hurt, or facing hard transition, or just feeling stuck. Maybe you are facing challenges with relationships and you are feeling overwhelmed, and feeling alone with it all and self doubting and seek change. Finding someone to journey deeply with you, that feels like a good fit is integral to your healing and restoration, and here you have begun your first step towards that.

Do you feel knocked off of your center, disconnected from your true self and isolated from others? Are you heavy and lethargic from burdens and stress? Unhappy or angry, but can't pinpoint why? Are you over-worked and trying to outrun anxiety? Whether you are fusing with others, fusing with alcohol or substances, fusing with phoning, over-doing or avoiding, it might feel like you are crashing. Your pain is real and often we will "crash" in order to shift; but you don't have to crash for something to change. You can be called into your truth, peace and love now.

Since the start of the pandemic, so many of us have come to crossroads in our lives. When in isolation we have been forced to look closely at the relationships we value, the activities we enjoy, and what we wish to change. In the age of social media, the culture of comparison has dominated our inner psyches and altered our abilities to obtain lasting happiness. In our work together, I want to provide you with a warm, thoughtful, socioculturally-attuned, and collaborative environment. Here, we can explore your individual needs, the belief systems you hold, and your hopes for the future.

If you've become lost amongst obstacles on your journey, I'd like to help guide you to more happiness by offering suggestions, uncovering unwanted patterns, and leading you from the past to the present in order to heal and evolve, enhancing your happiness. Through changes in perceptions/attitudes and being willing to see situations with a new pair of glasses, you can reach your goals and evolve. My clients report that they enjoy my down-to-earth attitude and humor and my use of Somatic Experiencing, EMDR, TRM, meditation and yoga to treat mind-body symptoms. I work best with clients who are motivated to gain self-awareness and see patterns that are no longer serving them. I give homework between sessions in order to keep the continuity of healing working consistently. I feel very blessed to be working in a field that serves people who are finding their best selves and evolving into the people they want to be.
