Do you feel like a supporting character in your own story? As a therapist, I can help you tap into your main character energy by reminding you how to shine. How to make intentional decisions that come from your inner, innate wisdom with confidence, compassion, and authenticity. I love working with creatives and women in seasons of transition. As female performer myself, I understand the unique joys and struggles of living a creative life. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, self-doubt, or the weight of old stories, I’ll hold a supportive, nonjudgmental space for your healing.
My approach blends storytelling, mindfulness, movement, and spirituality to support mind-body-spirit healing. I’ve seen how these practices help clients not only manage stress and emotions but also feel more grounded, free, and aligned with who they truly are. Outside of therapy, I’m a yoga instructor, meditation teacher, Reiki practitioner, and performer.
Therapy can be a space for you to breathe, pause, reflect, and return back home to yourself. If you’re longing for clarity or change, I’d be honored to help you get there. Reach out when you’re ready and we’ll take it one step at a time.

Groups
Healing Manifestation Group
Has modern manifestation rhetoric made you feel worse about yourself and compounded feelings like shame, brokenness, or unworthiness? This manifestation group approaches the goals we set for ourselves in a different light: we take into account the socio-cultural structures and the systems in place that are ignored in traditional schools of thought and stand in the way of making our desired futures manifest. In this safe and collaborative environment, we help each other navigate subconscious beliefs and how invisible forces have shaped them, while learning how to step into alignment with that which we want to call into fruition.
