About My Clients

Do you feel lost or stuck? Disconnected from your body or emotional needs? Perhaps unfulfilled in your relationships or as if you can't seem to break free from a relational pattern? I SEE YOU... & I'm passionate about supporting you back home to your truest self. As a queer woman, with my expertise in the Expressive Arts, plus education & practice as an energy worker, the way I hold therapeutic space for individuals and those in partnership(s) is deeply unique & holistic. I'm excited to connect!

My Background and Approach

My educational background is in Expressive Arts Therapy which means that I hold an advanced understanding of how to implement creative tools into therapeutic space. This does not require you to be an artist to work with me, it just means that I prioritize a style that expands past talk therapy, therefore activating both hemispheres of your brain, allowing a deeper, more long lasting healing experience to occur. Additionally, I am a certified Reiki Practioner which means I hold a knowledge of how our energetic bodies impact our ability to heal, connect, and process. My experience is expansive-- through roles as a teacher, facilitator, artist & writer while living & learning in a variety of countries such as Guatemala, Nepal, & Ghana. My practice is focused on guiding individuals & couples+ back to their most authentic & empowered selves by exploring our unprocessed depths & most intimate desires, all while practicing tools that support folks ability to facilitate their own healing.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe learning, growing, and healing are meant to be ever-evolving. I believe we all innately hold a deep inner compass thats purpose is to lead us back to a source of expansive love & connection to all beings. I also feel passionately that therapy is meant to be a space offering folks the freedom & safety to explore liberating themselves from oppressive systems such as capitalism, racism, anti-Blackness, sexism, ableism, transphobia, xenophobia, & fat-phobia. Therefore, prioritizing this journey is deeply important to how I hold the therapeutic space. I make it a point to stay active in my own practice of dismantling these structures & white supremacy within myself while immersing myself in communities that prioritize this healing. As a queer woman myself, I am a fierce advocate of the LGBTQIA+ community & hold sacred space for working with clients holding those identities.
