Welcome! I'm a trauma-sensitive somatic psychotherapist and shamanic practitioner with over ten years of experience helping adults reclaim their inherent capacity to heal from complex trauma, childhood abuse and neglect, sexual and domestic violence, and complicated grief - all with the intention to live a more authentic and wholesome life.
I also specialize in serving extra-sensitive individuals experiencing spiritual awakenings or struggling to navigate their intuitive gifts. These experiences can be both beautiful and overwhelming, and I offer a grounded, supportive space to integrate them.
My approach infuses Somatic Experiencing, Internal Family Systems, and Brainspotting. I also have undergone rigorous study in Shamanic therapies and integrate this approach into tending to one’s Spirit. Clients would describe me as warm and relatable, creating space to feel seen, while offering clarifying insights and embodied tools for deep transformation.
Walking the healing path can feel quite daunting at times. It is my mission to bring a greater sense of support and ease to those ready and committed to doing the hard and beautiful work necessary to holistically heal and bring themselves into greater harmony with all Life. If you feel the call, I welcome you to reach out!
