Are you looking for a consistent touchstone in your week or every other week that offers support in what you're navigating in your life? If you are looking to build your toolbox and develop your sense of empowerment to navigate this world, then we can work on that together. I work with clients seeking a combination of talk therapy and mindfulness practices to develop their intuition and a compassionate relationship with their inner world, and who are seeking to build more peace in their nervous systems, relationships, and environments. If you’d like to take a step, contact me today for a consultation.
I provide deep understanding of social, political and cultural experiences. I use my personal lived experience, academic knowledge, and clinical experience to provide compassionate, informed care. I offer clients a space that honors their experiences and strengths and build on mindfulness, self-compassion, and a mind-body connection.
I use a gentle, direct approach to increase your self-awareness, connect you with your internal wisdom, and build your sense of agency in life. I work relationally with my clients, using humor, education, and deep compassion and curiosity to support healing and growth. If that sounds like what you are looking for in a therapist, please reach out today.
