My approach is warm, interactive, and client-centered. I view the work as a collaborative process, continually checking in and creating a safe space as well as a place to look at holistic aspects of identity. I value transparency and authenticity. We may jive if you are self-reflective, are ready to work, are pleasure-positive, vaxxed, and believe Black Lives Matter.
I enjoy working with folx from all communities and identities with an eclectic style and mixture of strength-based, feminist, disability, and queer theory lens.

Do you ever ask yourself, with a little curiosity, "What the hell is my life?" as you are pondering what you want and how to get there? Loneliness sucks. Connection is difficult. Unhealthy coping tools feel easier to use than the good ones. Together, we will work on changing the narrative, coping with the intense pressure and stress you are facing, focusing on your strengths, and allowing space to connect to compassion for yourself. I work with people who struggle with mental health and addiction, relationship issues, self-esteem, isolation and a general disconnect from life. What is creating a block for you? Let's get to work.

Something is asking for your attention. A heaviness you've carried longer than you meant to, a relationship that keeps catching on the same old hook, a quiet sense that the way you've been living isn't quite the way you want to. Maybe you've done a lot of work already — you can articulate what's wrong, but something underneath hasn't moved. That's the territory I'm drawn to. I work with adults navigating complex trauma, anxiety, and the kinds of transitions that ask you to become someone new. The work I offer is relational, embodied, and unhurried.

I draw from person‑centered, narrative, somatic, and mindfulness techniques to support your growth at a pace that feels safe.
Does everyday life feel like you're carrying a hidden weight? Perhaps you're navigating a gender transition, exploring non‑traditional relationships, or making sense of neurodivergence. Feeling overwhelmed or unseen is common when your experience doesn't fit neatly into society's expectations. I specialize in working with LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent adults and those in consensual non‑monogamy, kink, and power‑exchange relationships. You're not alone; there's space here for your story.

Therapy That Includes the Body —
You may feel anxious, overwhelmed, or at a meaningful turning point in your life. Perhaps you’ve done insight-oriented therapy or personal growth work, yet something still feels stuck in your body or nervous system. You might feel disconnected from your intuition, creativity, or sense of purpose.
My clients are often seeking more than symptom management — they want embodied healing, regulation, and lasting change. They are ready to explore their inner experience with curiosity and care, and to reconnect with a deeper sense of vitality, authenticity, and direction.

Somatic Therapists
How does somatic therapy work?
Somatic therapy is a form of treatment that focuses on how the body and mind are interconnected. In this approach, physical symptoms are addressed because they may in fact signal emotional distress. Somatic therapists combine mindfulness, talk therapy, breathwork, yoga, dance, and physical manipulations of the body to help patients become more attuned to what their body is telling them.
Is EMDR a somatic therapy?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a form of somatic therapy, as it incorporates mental and physical principles. EMDR involves remembering a traumatic experience while allowing one’s eyes to track a side-to-side visual stimulus from a therapist. This lateral eye movement is believed to diminish the painful power of the memory so that it can be discussed with a therapist.
Is somatic therapy evidence-based?
Somatic therapy has been researched and studied, and some forms of somatic therapy are found to be effective in treating a wide range of conditions. Because somatic therapy encompasses many techniques, some, such as EMDR and meditation, have been studied more than others.
What is somatic trauma therapy?
Somatic trauma therapy is based on the idea that when people experience trauma, they can become stuck in the “freeze” part of a “fight, flight, or freeze” response. In this state, trauma can manifest itself both mentally and physically—through tension in the muscles, anxiety, and stress. Popular forms of somatic trauma therapy include EMDR, sensorimotor therapy, and somatic experiencing.
