About My Clients

I help overwhelmed "high functioning" folks regain a sense of agency, balance and joy in their lives all from the convenience of their home. Whether its panic attacks, burnout, or messy family dynamics, I love working with folks with a genuine desire for change. I am skilled at supporting folks of all backgrounds sift through complex and activating sensations, thoughts, and relationships. If you want effective virtual care and a therapist who asks engaging questions, we'll be a good fit.

My Background and Approach

I received my MA in Clinical Counseling and Somatic Psychology from the California Institute of Integral Studies. My thesis was on disordered eating, developmental trauma and energy healing. I have worked with individuals of all backgrounds and mental health challenges in various life stages. My approach is a blend of emotional processing and practical skill building. I bring compassion, curiosity and humor into the room and help folks remember their worth. I am a trauma and systems informed somatic psychotherapist who fuses talk therapy and body-based inquiry to help you navigate life's stressors and still make space for joy. I am particularly skilled at supporting folx sift out noise from truth, identify their needs and desires, and come away with a clearer stronger sense of self and actionable ways to move forward, all without ever meeting in person. I draw on a variety of modalities to meet each client’ needs in any given moment - always asking the client for permission to proceed

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe every person has the right and capacity to feel safe in their body, especially marginalized ones - BIPOC, fat, trans, queer and disabled. I serve to provide a sacred space where each person can explore their wholeness without shame, limitations, or labels. I am passionate about facilitating the conditions for an individual to ignite their own innate healing powers which may lay latent within themselves. I believe every person has a healthy voice, an ancestral voice, moving them towards more agency and harmony, and away from suffering. Always meeting the nervous system where it is, I support clients in exploring what regulation practices work best for them and their unique bodies. All that I do is oriented towards collective liberation and consistently bring in a societal and historical lens when processing trauma and relationship dynamics. I believe everyone is doing the best they can and deserves care catered to them.
