My approach

Healing happens through experience, and having a consistent, non-judgmental ear can help you see things in a new light. Together we may talk, move, create and explore your feelings. On this brave journey, we remain rooted in the here-and-now, ever present to the patterns that unfold. I will respectfully guide you through your emotions so that you can reconnect to the source and gain greater meaning in life. Using a somatic approach, I help you uncover your truth and lead you toward embodiment. The big questions in life, such as “who am I?” and “what is my life purpose?” are bound to surface in the process of facing our darkness. We’ll explore the existential edges of human experience with curiosity and patience for your process.

Maybe you've hit a wall with traditional therapy. Perhaps you want to be more present, bolster your own mindfulness practice, or stop engaging in patterns that cause you pain. I approach you as a human being and help you grow into a fuller version of yourself. I practice meditation in the insight tradition and am happy to tailor our work to your needs.

I enjoy working with individual adults and couples who are struggling with depression, anxiety, addiction, body issues, ongoing relational patterns, and identity. I believe in the innate ability of the human being to heal itself; my role is to help you remove the blocks that are keeping you from wholeness and growth. We'll engage in deep exploration, allowing you to set the pace of your healing process. My approach is holistic, integrating body, mind, and spirit. That being said, I stay grounded in the latest neuroscience of attachment by attuning to you and use body-based healing offerings to increase your sense of connection and awareness. It is only in safety and acceptance that we may grow and change.

Who I work with

In practice since 2019, I hold space in my LGBTQ-allied, kink-friendly, poly/ENM-affirming practice for people who value their growth and struggle with the human condition. Those who are ready to go deeper than ever before have found somatic therapy to be highly effective for them. I have experience leading an 8-step recovery group for marginalized individuals at a sober living community. Before working in private practice, I was a therapist for adolescents and adults in the community mental health environment, where I worked with people struggling with trauma, addiction, and mood disorders. In another life, I lived and worked abroad for a number of years—as a Peace Corps volunteer, a journalist, and an explorer. It would be an honor to help you find your way home.
