I love discovering the emerging potential of my clients, and supporting their unique personal development and evolution. I'm experienced working with highly sensitive individuals, and those who self-identify as having a history of trauma. Adults who are self-motivated, and those who have or desire a mind-body-spirit practice, are a good fit for the support I provide. I adapt to the needs of children and adults alike. I believe therapy can be a powerful tool to unlock our greater creativity and feelings of interconnectivity and trust, so that my clients can thrive in the web of life.
I specialize in merging holistic, somatic, and eco-therapy to support you as a whole person. I focus on interweaving mind, body, and spirit. We create a sense of safety in your body to help you navigate challenges. By infusing eco-therapy, we awaken to the truth of our undeniable interrelationship with all that is, and recognize our authentic nature.
There are many life junctures that bring someone into therapy, and all are valid and deserving of attention and care. I would love to meet you to determine how I might be able to help. Whether you desire to embark as a couple, individual, family, group, or to be the bridge for your children in therapy, you are welcome here and I honor you.

I help people learn to trust themselves — through a healing relationship where you experience, perhaps for the first time, what it feels like to be fully accepted and met in the midst of both your struggles and your dreams. We create the conditions where change becomes inevitable — because for the first time, you feel safe enough to stop defending against yourself.
