Welcome
I am happy that you found your way to this page. I know how important it is to find the right therapist. I offer 20-minute consults so you can get a sense of me and how we could work together and decide if it feels like a good fit for you.
It is my greatest gift to hold a safe and supportive space for folks to explore and find what is true for them. I believe we are all born innately good, creative and self-actualizing. Meaning that you have within you all you need to create the life you were born to live. Trauma or overwhelming experience of all kinds (physical, spiritual, emotional, relational, cultural societal, global, ancestral etc. ) causes one to disconnect from the body and distrust one's inner wisdom and connection with the whole.

Welcome
I am delighted that you found your way to this page. I know how important it is to find the right therapist. I offer 20-minute consults so you can get a sense of me and how we could work together and decide if it feels like a good fit for you.
It is my greatest gift to get to hold a safe and supportive space for folks to explore and find what is true for them. I believe we are all born innately good, creative and self-actualizing. Meaning that you have within you all you need to create the life you were born to live. Sometimes traumatic experience (especially relational and cultural) causes one to disconnect from the body and distrust their inner wisdom and sensings.
When we have not known a felt-sense of safety within, it can be difficult to feel at home inside ourselves and move from our deepest empowered values.
I support survivors of trauma to heal and gain tools to feel safe inside themselves. Once one can access a sense of safety in their system they can start to remember how to know, honor and trust themselves to create a fulfilling life.
I enjoy working with sensitive and creative individuals who want support with unresolved trauma, blocked creativity, addictions, healthy communication, grief and loss, spirituality issues and cultivating healthy relationships. I consider myself an anti-racist, cis-gendered ally of the BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ community.
I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor and a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner®. I have specialized trainings in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy® Level I and have completed a four month Internal Family Systems live course that greatly informs my work. In addition, I utilize the creative process as a pathway to healing and integration. Creative expression used for self-discovery is a gentle way to gain deep insight and integration as well as reclaim play and inner aliveness. Some modalities available are sand tray therapy, intuitive painting, drawing and writing prompts/journaling.
I look forward to hearing from you!
"There is something in everyone of you that waits and listens for the sound of the genuine in yourself. It is the only true guide you will ever have. And if you cannot hear it, you will all of your life spend your days on the ends of strings that somebody else pulls."
