About My Clients

Folks who feel most supported by me tend to be somewhat introverted, sensitive souls, who appreciate a gentle and warm presence and are hoping to connect more deeply to their true being. My clients may wish to develop an increased sense of fluidity and settling of their nervous system, or to reconnect with their unique self and the path they feel most aligned with in the present. Together, we can collaborate to support your mind, body, & spirit to receive nourishment, fulfillment, & wholeness.

My Background and Approach

The modalities that guide my work are rooted in your strengths, and recognize familial, environmental, and societal influences. An integral part of this is Sensorimotor Psychotherapy (SP), a somatic approach that draws upon the wisdom of the body to update patterned responses to your environment, so they can feel more aligned with what is happening in the present rather than the past. SP can support you with managing the effects of trauma so you can experience feeling safer and more at ease, along with beginning to rewire limiting beliefs that are ready to shift. I also have training in Ecotherapy, which is centered in reestablishing a reciprocal relationship with nature—including yourself, community, and the more than human world. Together we can water what needs tending to and compost what may have previously served you to nourish what wants to grow now. I am also EMDR trained, and weave in mindfulness, and aspects of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I have a heart-centered soft spot for working with folks who are embarking on significant life transitions (career & beyond), experiencing burnout or imposter syndrome, navigating internal fulfillment in a collectivist family, and embracing the complexities of biracial identity. As a fellow human on Earth, I am enamored by moss, dragonflies, and great blue herons; and in my downtime I am often enjoying walks and hikes with nature, accidentally rabbit holing on various topics, and sharing food with my favorite people.
