About My Clients

I work with adult clients who struggle with anxiety, and feel overwhelmed by the constant balancing act of work, relationships, and personal life; they often long for the ability to set clear, loving boundaries, to honor their own needs, and to reconnect with their authentic selves. I also work with folks who have experienced or are currently navigating a life-altering loss. Grief is not something to “fix” or “get rid of,” but rather something to be honored, processed, and lovingly tended to.

My Background and Approach

I see myself as a companion on your journey back to wholeness—walking alongside you as you reconnect with your true self. There is a light within you, a source of strength and vitality, that is always present, even during the darkest times. My intention is to help you access, nurture, and honor that light, allowing it to grow and shine brighter. I utilize EMDR, Somatic healing, and mindfulness and meditation techniques to help each person bring more calm, inner connection, and integration to their nervous systems and spirits. Therapy lights me up and I truly believe in the human potential to transform from the inside out. I have gone through my own deep healing journey and continue each day to soften into this human experience with love and tenderness. As a yoga teacher of 7 years, I bring a mindful here-and-now approach to therapy. I work from a holistic, somatic, transpersonal, psychodynamic, attachment-based, and self-compassion framework.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I strive to help each of my clients feel completely accepted as they are, to help them honor their own identities, and to help them bring a sense of love and belonging to all parts of themselves. LGBTQIA+ Affirming Care and Transgender Safe Space
