About My Clients

Do you find yourself struggling in relationships? Do you people-please others but feel resentful later? Do you feel like you can’t say “No” even when you want to? Do you feel exhausted with trying to be perfect but feel like you’re failing all the time? If this resonates with you, I promise you’re not broken, and you’re also not alone! There’s very good reasons for why you feel this way, but it doesn’t have to be how you feel forever. Together we can help you find satisfaction in relationships.

My Background and Approach

Have you ever heard the phrase, “The body keeps the score”? It’s true! Our bodies are incredibly smart and know how to keep us safe. They remember our past and are doing their best to keep us safe in our present and future. But sometimes this means that it’s working overtime to protect us from anything else that could hurt us, and this can end up causing problems in relationships, jobs, parenting, and in our mental and physical health. Traditional talk therapy is often ineffective at helping the body heal from these old wounds. Instead, I use a body-based approach that holistically addresses old wounds and soothes the nervous system… Allowing for long-lasting healing below the surface.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

With how many oppressive systems and individuals there are that continually harm others, I believe it’s my purpose to do what I can to create some good in this world. I’m sex-positive, kink-positive, LGBTQ+ affirming, and strongly believe in racial justice. Bigotry and judgment have no place in my practice. I follow the guiding principle to Do No Harm. I also believe in the importance of strong, supportive relationships both within and outside of therapy. I believe that it’s the therapeutic relationship that truly heals, and I aim to be one of your biggest supporters as you overcome challenges in your life. I’ll be right there with you through some of your hardest moments, and I’ll hold onto hope even when it seems hopeless. I believe in you and your ability to do hard things. I also believe you deserve all the healing that you can possibly have in this life, and it’s my honor to guide you on your healing journey.
