You may be facing anxiety, depression, or past traumas and are determined to find balance and peace. Together, we will work on breaking free from limiting patterns of thinking. Whether you're navigating a significant life transition like pregnancy or a career change, or feeling burned out from helping others, I’m here to guide and support you. I bring 18 yrs of holistic and 14 yrs of evidence-based experience, we'll explore ways to deepen your connection with yourself and the world around you. I will help you navigate your inner landscape, transform your struggles, and empower you to live your most authentic and fulfilled life.
I specialize in perinatal depression, anxiety, trauma (including birth trauma), and stress. I offer EMDR, somatics, Interpersonal Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, attachment-focused, and psychedelic integration. With a PhD in social work and infant mental health, I also incorporate esoteric practices like reiki, tarot, and ancestral healing.
I know how challenging it can be to take the first step. Sometimes it feels like a leap or there may be feels of skepticism that there really is something more. I am here to explore, grow, and learn along side you. If you are ready to dive in, I will show up with my years of formal, clinical training, combined with my holistic training in yoga & energy work.
