Our pursuit of a good life can be deeply affected by the current world situations. We may be struggling not only in our personal lives but also by difficult worldly events such as climate change, the economy, retirement, health care and many more.

I provide queer, trans, poly, health at any size, neurodivergent, BIPOC-affirming therapeutic space for adults and self-motivated teenagers.

Create joy and inner calm in your life. My role is to guide you in coming back to your wholeness. I am passionate about helping you heal your wounded parts. This wounding may show up as depression, anxiety, or PTSD in adulthood. My approach is heart-based; it is a fusion of experiential, somatic/body-oriented (releasing emotional pain which is stored in our bodies), gestalt, cognitive behavioral, EMDR, hypnosis, and internal family systems approaches. I don't focus on analyzing nor intellectualizing your past. We visit the past to let go of any pain or heal trauma.

Life transitions usually become more stressful and even intimidating when doubled up with unprocessed trauma. Anxiety, stress, fear, anger, low self-esteem, grief, and/or depression are just some of the symptoms. Our brain is an incredible processing machine, which digests and organizes our experiences. But life encounters are just too many. Much of our experience, including childhood trauma, family of origin and attachment issues, can be frozen in an unawakened state. As a therapist, I work with clients to promote the processing clients need for emotional release and healing.
