You're here because you are seeking relief... You want to stop ruminating, feeling stuck, and bracing for hurt in relationships. You want to feel more ease and less anxiety. You may be highly sensitive, creative, or have heard you're "too much." I would love to provide you a compassionate non-judgmental space to explore your stories, gently challenge, and teach you tools. I believe we have innate strengths that re-awaken through meaningful connections, like therapy. Together, we'll transmute pain, blocks, and trauma by listening to your parts, gaining insight, editing beliefs, and unburdening emotions so you reclaim peace and joy.
I'm a somatic, depth + trauma-informed therapist. Together, we'll collaborate on goals, explore narratives to gain insights, and integrate strengths. We can use somatic, neuroscience, IFS Parts Work, self-compassion + mindfulness, dreamwork and/or creative exercises to reinforce changes + growth. I'm also experienced in esoteric spirituality for 30+ years.
If you're seeking a relational, attuned therapist whose space is enveloped in warmth, honesty + insight to catalyze your healing + empowerment, I'd love to meet you! I hold a comfortable yet brave, safe environment to confront, unburden, heal, and achieve goals that may not feel possible right now. Message me to set up a consult call, and we can get started!

I often use Parts Work, neuroscience, Jungian work (dream amplification, symbol exploration, art/writing exercises), creating ritual, guided meditations, and somatic exercises. We will explore together, and I will share reflections that allow you to go deeper... This catalyzes those very rewarding "a-ha" moments of insight that alchemize and integrate your emotional lead into personal power gold.
