I work with individuals who struggle feeling safe in their human experience. There might be a feeling, belief, sensation, or experience that tethers you to pain and disconnection. I firmly believe that healing is possible for everyone. I'm passionate about honoring the stories and life experiences of clients with humility, non-judgment, and heartfelt compassion. My work is strongly informed by both lived experience and emerging research which uniquely confirm how we may heal in relationship. I'm committed to a creating a space where you may feel seen, heard, and affirmed in your courage to take action toward healing and liberation.
My work is rooted in the principles of existentialism, intersectional feminism, Buddhist psychology, mindful self-compassion, narrative therapy, and interpersonal neurobiology. My education and life experiences have led to a clinical focus on trauma, substance use disorders, and other forms of addiction through a bio-psycho-social-spiritual lens.
Your pain can be a pathway, rather than a prison. The therapeutic process is a deeply intimate one. It involves allowing ourselves in raw form to be seen, heard, and held with tenderness – including the parts we may have spent our lifetimes hiding from or denying. If you are remotely curious about this process or if I'm the right fit, let's chat.
