About My Clients
I am passionate about supporting people in coming home to themselves, providing a space where you can be heard and held without judgement. I am here to help you put down the burden you may not even realize you are holding. This work is excellent for people who are highly sensitive, care takers, big feelers, and helping professionals who are navigating overwhelm/burnout, stress, anxiety/depression, nervous system disregulation, and trauma. I see both adults and trans/gender-expansive youth.
My Background and Approach
If you’re here that means you are taking steps to support your mental health. That’s HUGE. This can be the hardest part for some people. Somewhere along the line, we learned it is not ok to ask for help. But there is no need to go it alone. As humans we are wired for connection. In many situations we actually need relationships and community to come to know who we truly are. So let’s begin. My approach is somatic - combining the trauma informed tools and insights of body psychotherapy with the gentle bodywork of biodynamic craniosacral therapy to help you get out of your head and into your body. We will utilize awareness, breath, touch, and movement to explore and give voice to the underlying patterns and stuck material that can hold us back. And build a bodily sense of foundation you can rely on. Don’t get me wrong, we will still talk. If you want we’ll break down each and every aspect of a situation, identifying any unhelpful beliefs and thought patterns. I'm ready for that too!
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
My journey to becoming a therapist began, as many do, with my own healing journey. I was working a stressful job in a big city, and after many years of holding it all in and pushing through, everything caught up with me. My life fell apart. My mental and physical health showed the wear, but every doctor I went to told me they couldn’t find anything wrong. This led me to explore other routes: bodywork, yoga, meditation, and later dance, martial arts, and other movement practices. Eventually, my interest in the mind-body connection led me to my studies at Naropa in Somatic Counseling and further training in Biodynamic Craniosacral therapy. All these practices and teachings in movement and stillness supported me in coming home to myself and finding freedom in my movement, expression, and being. And doing the work with others made it real. Now, I work with people to support them to do the same. So if you’re ready, let’s do this together.
