I bring experiential, collaborative, strength-based and somatic body-awareness practices to support you as you heal and grow.
In working with you, my goal is to create the space for you to connect with your own innate wisdom. I will meet you where you are with presence, empathy, and non-judgment. Using mindfulness and somatic techniques we will examine and remain grounded in the present and then work backward to untangle how difficult or traumatic experiences of the past may be keeping you “stuck” in unhealthy thinking or behavioral patterns. I will act as an unwavering guide as you move toward freedom and growth.

Today's professionals are often challenged by the myth of perfectionism, 24/7 work schedules, and having a side hustle. All to frequent, people are wiped out by balancing a fulltime job, family commitments, and escalating economic demands. In the midst of this doing, many have stretched themselves emotionally, psychologically, and physically without adequately supporting their own need for restoration. In fact, without mental wellbeing, healthy coping mechanisms, rest, and healing practices; our minds and bodies experience exhaustion. This type of mental and physical fatigue can lead to increased stress, anxiety, and burnout.

Being human is complex and sometimes painful. With a foundation of trauma-sensitive mindfulness, I collaboratively create a client-centered space for individuals and couples to uncover obstacles that block aliveness, connection, safety, and joy. With an awake heart, clarity, and nonjudgmental presence, I help clients find perspective, make meaning of difficulties, access innate wisdom, and gain skills to emerge into freedom. From queer lineages and Celtic ancestry, I am a queer, gender-variant-femme, poet and Buddhist practitioner who derives inspiration and purpose from the forces of nature, meditation, and relationships.

Strength-Based Therapists
How does strength-based therapy work?
During strength-based therapy sessions, the therapist will ask about an individual’s experiences of stress, pain, or trauma with the goal of orienting the client to view themselves as a survivor rather than a victim, and focusing on their strengths rather than on their weaknesses. In framing a client’s personal narrative along these lines, the therapist and client work together to identify existing skills that can be harnessed.
Is strength-based therapy evidence-based?
Strength-based therapy is an evidence-based treatment that has been studied extensively and shown to be effective across domains. The treatment has been found to be particularly effective in helping individuals who are experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and other mental health concerns. Strength-based therapy has been used by therapists to help clients for more than 60 years.
How long does strength-based therapy last?
There’s no precise timeline for strength-based therapy. The duration of treatment depends on the individual’s specific needs and goals and the severity of their concerns. Some individuals may find they achieve their therapeutic goals quickly, while others might benefit from ongoing support and guidance in order to continue progressing.
How effective is strength-based therapy?
Clinical research and decades of practice have shown strength-based therapy to be an effective treatment to improve mental health and well-being for many conditions. The treatment can engender a sense of connection and collaboration between the therapist and the individual, fostering a positive therapeutic relationship. For individuals with narcissistic tendencies, strength-based therapy may be less effective, as the focus on the individual’s strengths may undermine the work needed to honestly assess the challenges the individual faces.
