I’m the owner of Kinda Crunchy Therapy and a therapist certified in Integrative Mental Health. To me, “crunchy” means rooted in nature, authenticity, and holistic healing. I blend clinical skills with natural, whole-person approaches to create a therapy space that feels grounded and genuine. I believe healing is most powerful when it honors body, mind and spirit. If you're curious about how things like nutrition, gut health, trauma, and lifestyle affect your mood, energy and well-being, you’re in the right place.
My approach blends many interventions, including Internal Family Systems (IFS), EFT Tapping, and somatic therapy with principles of integrative wellness. We will explore not only your story but also how it lives in your body — through tension, patterns, symptoms, or emotional holding.
I offer a collaborative, non-pathologizing space rooted in curiosity, attunement, and respect for your pace. We’ll move gently but effectively — tracking shifts in the nervous system, welcoming all parts of you, and working toward sustainable healing.
