It's hard to live in this world right now, especially if you are sensitive and empathic. I help those feeling emotionally overwhelmed, disconnected and longing for a greater sense of peace, confidence, empowerment and connection with others and Life. My clients may have big feelings, experience chronic issues, care deeply about the world, and struggle with issues that keep them living small. I believe we heal ourselves -and our world- together. Through our therapeutic relationship we will create an empowering space to release symptoms and patterns that no longer serve, in order to cultivate and offer the world your true self.
My approach is relational, intuitive and science‑informed, drawing on Somatics, Pain Reprocessing, Trauma‑Informed care, and Transpersonal/Eco Therapy. I also honor how personal struggles connect to climate grief, political upheaval, and systemic oppression, offering space to process emotion, stay connected to your values and build resilience.
Your focus on your own healing contributes to the healing of the whole and is part of a larger movement toward liberation from systems that harm. It is not selfish—and you do not have to do it alone. Let's walk this path of healing and liberation together!
