Finding yourself stuck in the same relationship patterns, struggling to move forward after trauma or loss, or having difficulty coping with life changes and conditions? Healing and self-discovery are possible, so you can create a rich and meaningful life. By integrating mind-body practices, I can help you reconnect with yourself and others, regulate your nervous system, and better navigate life’s challenges. I specialize in supporting folks with trauma, burnout, relationship issues (including poly/ENM), and eco-distress/climate grief. If you experience stress from caring for/about others and our climate, I am ready to support you.
In therapy, I attend to ways in which the ideas, actions and policies in our communities, cultures and families can be sources of both pain and resilience. I am committed to providing queer- and LGBTQIA+ affirming care, and I believe in the collaborative exploration of all intersections of identity that feel important to you. My experience informs my work.
My career in international humanitarian aid and gender-based violence lends a unique perspective to trauma-informed care. Trained in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, I bring neuroscience and the mind-body connection into therapy. Our work will explore how the body holds past experiences and how it can help you heal. I look forward to getting started!

Groups
Navigating Climate Distress
Distress, anxiety, grief and existential dread are legitimate responses to a global climate crisis and are important areas to address to help you better navigate our changing world. This 10-week group provides social and emotional peer support to people who feel overwhelmed about the state of the world. We use the Good Grief Network's 10-Step Program to help participants process their overwhelming feelings, deconstruct and reimagine cultural narratives, build community, reconnect with joy and meaning, and reinvest energies into meaningful efforts. Weekly meetings are virtual for two hours each over 10 weeks. Contact me to learn more!
