Are you feeling stuck like stagnating water of a creek that no longer flows? Or are you struggling in your relationships? Certain seasons test us to our core. My experience as a therapist and as a client shows me that we have the capacity to recover our vitality. I am here to support your journey of healing and growth. Even after traumas, losses, oppression, and experiences that are too painful for our bodies and spirits to carry alone, there is a path of healing that can re-energize your life and spirit. While you are the expert on your life, I am here to facilitate awareness, self-compassion and inner shifts. Your new life awaits!
I lead with a deeply heartfelt approach. I welcome you and prioritize your needs. I draw from approaches rooted in trauma studies, attachment, body-centered, ecopsychology, spiritual and symbolic dimensions. I believe that by tending to the relationship between your Self and the parts of you that need care, we can foster transformation and liveliness.
My holistic approach also orients me towards healing your relationships with your loved ones, community, cultural identity, and the natural world. When fitting, I offer outdoor sessions that engage nature as co-therapist. With a gentle smile, I thank you for reading. I invite you to reach out and explore how we can bring nourishment to your inner landscape.
