How might you show yourself compassion today? Where can you exercise more curiosity, in place of judgement? Imagine speaking to yourself with the same gentle grace and care you would typically give to a friend, loved one or child. Many of us struggle to be kind and patient with ourselves, especially if we have endured or been witness to traumatic experiences. I believe that we are all capable of change and healing, if we lead with compassion. In our work together, we will focus on nurturing your relationships, starting with the self, unlocking your innate ability to heal, feel, grow, connect, redefine and transcend beyond your pain.
I would describe my approach to therapy as 'embodied, empowered, attuned and aligned'. I am client centered. I integrate somatic practices, mindfulness techniques and CBT to help you safely connect with your body, increase emotional awareness, build resilience and self compassion. I teach accessible skills to support emotional regulation and healthy coping.
I really enjoy working with creatives, the LGBTQIA+ community, neurodiverse, women, alternative lifestyles, college aged, older teens and adults. You are deserving of love, joy and freedom. Therapy can serve as an opportunity to come home to yourself, to work toward healing and reclaim your life. It would be an honor to walk along side you on this journey.

I believe that 'movement is medicine'. My approach is inspired by a love and appreciation for movement and my past experiences as a dancer/performer/circus artist. Movement practices have been integral in my own personal healing journey and I strive to translate this into client care. I utilize mindfulness practices and a somatic approach which centers the role of the body in healing and recovery.
