Welcome to a holistic approach to mental health.

A few words to describe me are empath, healing conduit, alchemizer— I have been doing my own personal growth work since I was sixteen years old and have been interested in the human experience and how the world works for as long as I can remember. I am a born contemplative and am gifted at sensing emotional undercurrents, shifts in states, and implicit reality. I am very interested in nonordinary states of consciousness and integrating them into daily life. My goal is to share with others the modalities I have found most helpful in healing both big and small traumas. It gives me great meaning to be a part of the growth and development of all things—clients, gardens, animals, kids, and this emerging new world.

I am both a psychotherapist and a bodyworker. My approach is an integration of these two often separate disciplines in order to access more dimensions of one’s experience. I do a fair amount of talk therapy focusing on beliefs and storytelling, while also inviting us into the energetic and emotional experience beneath the words. Insight and validation can be enormously valuable, but sometimes they aren't sufficient to resolve what remains embodied in the nervous system. I weave this into talk therapy by slowing down and attending to the felt sense of stored survival stress and emotions in the body. Together, we access, feel, and process these experiences in ways that can bring greater strength and clarity. I also provide craniosacral therapy in almost every session to help further regulate the nervous system for more coherence and connection.

I really like working with all types of people and nervous systems. I am especially drawn to helping those struggling to find their own voice and purpose in the world and really anyone wanting to integrate overwhelming experiences. These experiences may include childhood neglect or abuse, sudden shock trauma, psychedelic experiences, religious or cult abuse, narcissistic abuse, and many others. I especially like working with people with high sensitivity and chronic pain. Health and healing are a birthright for every person, and when there is a commitment to the path, I am there with you.
