A bit about me...
A clinical social worker by training, I work at the intersection of psychology, social justice, spirituality, and mind-body practices. I consider myself a devoted lifelong student of the human experience, committed to collective liberation and healing. I spent the first seven years of my career in community-based, non-profit mental health settings before transitioning into private practice in 2017.
I've worked with a wide range of mental health concerns and specialize in somatic therapies, anxiety, and Complex PTSD. My approach centers on helping you build a compassionate relationship with your own nervous system — creating the conditions for it to rewire and settle.
My Approach
I am a highly intuitive therapist and collaborative guide who values cultivating curiosity, laughter, and meaningful dialogue with my clients. I draw from a diverse range of clinical experiences and my robust training background and personal journey with trauma and anxiety equips me with a profound ability to empathize and quickly grasp the nuances of emotional and psychological suffering.
Beliefs and Framework
To me, therapy isn't designed to "fix" you. Mental health — healing — means learning to relate to your internal states without labeling them right or wrong. It's about compassion. It's about becoming empowered to direct your life according to what matters most to you. Approached this way, healing has the potential to awaken you not only to yourself, but to a world filled with possibility and belonging.
​
I believe deeply in the transformative power of mindful awareness — of channeling your energy and actions toward what you truly care about. My own connection to nature, music, storytelling, the Tarot, meditation, intuition, and creativity informs my work, offering gateways to your inner wisdom, a fuller relationship with your body, and building confidence to meet life's inevitable challenges. My aim is to help you recognize and celebrate the entirety of who you are, while cultivating compassion for the pain we all carry. Together, we'll unpack the internal and external barriers that leave you guarded, alienated, or unsupported — and we'll get creative about what works for you, as the unique human being you are.
​
From a clinical perspective, my approach combines strategies from modalities like Somatic Experiencing, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). My practice is strongly influenced by principles rooted in Buddhist Psychology, Liberation Psychology, Postmodern Feminist Theory, and a commitment to all things anti-racist, LGBTQIA friendly, HAES informed and sex positive.
