My ideal client is someone who has a foundation of wellness + is looking to bridge the chasm between where they are + where they would like to be. They have self-awareness, motivation, + support system to aid them in their journey. They are looking to learn + implement sustainable tools, practices, + habits that will embody their authentic truth and enhance their lives as a whole. They are curious + open about integrative + holistic methods of healing. They are willing to lean into fear of walking the unknown path of internal alchemy + evolution, knowing they are, ultimately, the one that can heal themselves.

My approach to therapy is grounded in authentic connection + embodied compassion. I can provide a space for you to open up to the process of healing in a safe, gentle, + easeful way. I operate under the assumption that you are already whole + enough as you are. I am here to guide you towards that self-acceptance + love you have been craving.

If you are feeling alone, confused, or stuck - know that you are not alone. There is someone out there to guide + help you. Finding a therapist can be like dating; it has to be the right match. I encourage you to listen to your body as you read my profile + see if it feels right before reaching out. I would be happy to connect with you more.

I strive to be an inclusive, trauma-informed therapist who works with folks who need a deeper connection with body-mind awareness, intuitive and authentic expression, and integrous relationships. We work to build awareness of unconscious energy, exiled or ignored parts of psyche, to shift maladaptive patterns. My goal is to instill confidence in my clients, building agency and lasting change.

I use an intersection between IFS, somatic based creative methods, and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, as well as clinical esoteric tools. The first few sessions are about collaboratively refining the goals of treatment and building internal resources. The middle is usually the hardest because one wants to give up. But with encouragement and practical tools, one gets to the point of breaking through.
