As a therapist, I am deeply committed to guiding individuals on their journey towards healing and self-discovery. Therapy is a powerful tool for transformation, and my goal is to help you uncover and embrace your best self. In our sessions, we will explore how your past influences your present, using a blend of traditional talk therapy and innovative techniques such as organic movement, art, holistic practices, and somatic therapies. These methods are grounded in science, ensuring a well-rounded and effective approach to your mental health.

I offer a compassionate, heart-centered approach to psychotherapy, where I bring my authentic self to our sessions. It is a profound honor to support your mind, body, and spirit as you move towards peace and healing. Together, we will create a safe and nurturing space for your personal growth and transformation.

MY Values

I value our interconnectedness as humans while simultaneously recognizing and celebrating our differences and uniqueness. I am culturally aware of the impacts of expectations placed on individuals from different upbringings, backgrounds, value systems, communities, and relationships, and am unafraid to bring it into the light and talk about it.

I honor those in all walks of life, am LGBTQIA+ affirming, and embrace consensual non-monogamy.
