I work with adults at various stages of life who are feeling overwhelmed or having a difficult time with issues such as anxiety and depression, relationship challenges, life transitions, work-life challenges, or grief and bereavement. Whatever the challenges you face, I help my clients connect more authentically with themselves and others, connect with your strengths and resources, and envision new possibilities for the next steps in your personal journey. I am BIPOC and LBGTQ-affirming and celebrate diversity across human experience.
I use an integrated, embodied, and trauma-informed approach to help my clients unlock greater somatic awareness, resiliency, self-compassion, and creative-problem solving. I offer a space of compassionate curiosity for my clients, drawing on diverse tools for mindfulness, grounding, somatic repatterning, and uncovering your intrinsic desires and motivations.
I believe that with a good enough compass, we don't need a map. Each day is a new opportunity for us, and if you're reading this and feel called to take the first step of your next chapter with me, then I look forward to meeting you exactly where you are. All of you is welcome in session with me.
