If you desire growth, change, and an improved quality of life - it would be my honor and pleasure to support you in that process. Perhaps you'd like to feel less anxiety or shift your experience of depression. Maybe you feel frustration with the state of the world. It could be the case that you are a high performance athlete or artist working through a creative block. Whatever it happens to be - you want something different for yourself and I am here to collaborate with you to bring about the change you desire.
I am especially focused on centering and honoring your unique and individual experience. I prioritize a trauma-informed, sex affirmative therapy approach for all - especially uplifting BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ voices and stories. I am especially interested in Brainspotting and mindfulness based offerings within the trauma-informed care framework.
Your journey is unique and special. There is only one you. And yet, we are all connected by a shared human experience. It is my calling to learn your individual story and collaborate in ways that resonate with you to support what is truly important in your life.
