About Therapy
We all have something unique to offer the world.
Unresolved trauma has an insidious way of confining our potential.
Compassion and creativity are lost when we’re stuck in defense patterns, which means parts of ourselves go offline- we’re not whole.
Left unexamined, this can become our normal way of being.
Struggling to get through the day unbalanced, relying on unhealthy coping strategies.
And when adversity strikes…
You’re once again faced with the unresolved shame, anger, and fear that seems to always be hiding under the surface.
Unsuccessfully navigating moments of crisis on your own can lead to further dysregulation and damage your ability to truly heal the root of your challenges.
Sure, there are some moments when things click together, and you feel better. But if you’re here, those moments are likely less frequent than your desire for the one precious life you have.
You can do better!
With a diverse background in multiple healing disciplines, I offer a unique perspective to help people reclaim and actualize their potential for a creative, fulfilling, and resilient life.
I have training and extensive experience in somatic therapy, parts work, and ecopsychology. These are powerful approaches for integrating the experiences of your past and rediscovering your vitality.
When we work together, all that knowledge, skill, and ability will be at your service, giving you the tools to navigate and overcome YOUR challenges.
The relief you’re seeking is within reach!
A trusted and skilled therapist can catalyze your mind and body’s ability to rebound from trauma and create a new way forward.
Healing may take time, but with the right support you can find your way through and obtain the transformation you dream of.
You can do this!

About Me
My inspiration for becoming a therapist…
As a highly sensitive person, I have always had a keen ability to attune to the emotional experience of others. My open-hearted approach has called me to serve in several caregiving and leadership roles where I’ve further developed my ability to connect with diverse populations.
In my early 20’s, I experienced a health crisis that significantly disrupted my ability to navigate life. The challenges I faced sent me on a journey where I explored a variety of therapeutic modalities and schools of thought in search of relief. Through this journey, I experienced a profound change in the way I relate with my personal trauma and rediscovered my truth.
The therapeutic modalities I offer have served a critical role in my ability to overcome the challenges I’ve experienced in my life. As a therapist, I am blessed to offer the gifts I’ve accumulated in service to the greater good of others.
Outside of therapy…
I spend most of my time playing music, practicing yoga, traveling, and spending time outdoors. I love to learn, explore, and celebrate the miracle of life with my closest people. I am continuously refining and rediscovering my perspective toward the highest good for all beings.
I’d be honored to share what I’ve learned with you.
Let’s find your way forward.
In our work together, we will overturn the roadblocks that disrupt your ability to be your confident, attuned, and creative self.
We will treat the roots of chronic dysregulation with proven therapeutic interventions that tend to the holistic picture of your well-being. We will re-write the rule book, develop processes that support your unique way of being, and bring forth a new status quo in service toward the well-being of all.
The peace you seek lives underneath layers of conditioning and survival tactics that have outlasted their usefulness. It’s time to let go of what isn’t serving you and rediscover yourself. If you are ready to reclaim your vitality, let’s work together to find your way forward.
My Toolbox:
Somatic Therapy
Somatic Therapy supports our ability to return to healthy functioning after a traumatic event by treating chronic dysregulation as it presents in our nervous systems. By learning to decode the messages of our nervous system, we reclaim our ability to meet triggering moments without being overtaken by them.
Parts Work
Parts work is a therapeutic tool used to integrate competing aspects of our personality toward greater coherence. Relating to our patterns as “parts” grants the distance to reclaim our true self and identify opportunities to live in greater alignment with our core values.
Ecopsychology
Ecopsychology offers a therapeutic framework to treat psychological suffering as reflected in our relationship with the natural world. By deepening our relationship with our inner and outer nature, we can come to understand ourselves as part of a network of relationships that define our purpose, place, and potential as individuals and species.
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT is a therapeutic tool to heal dysfunctional patterns by examining the assumptions and expectations that inform our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. By coming into a deeper understanding of the underlying needs and desires of our habits and routines, we can reclaim our ability to make intentional decisions toward a healthier way of being.
“No problem can be solved on the same level of consciousness that created it.”
– Albert Einstein
Four things I believe…
The healing journey is catalyzed by courageous actions.
The vulnerability required to embody our truth has the power to change the course of our lives for the better.
The next step is always right in front of us.
We can find our way forward by attuning to the needs, integrating past experiences, and rediscovering the power of our intuition.
We live amidst transformational times.
The society wherein many of us were raised is ill-equipped to navigate the unique challenges of being human in today’s world.
Authentic embodiment can change the world.
The growth we make as individuals brings more resiliency to our communities.
