If you are interested in deepening and expanding your awareness and understanding of Self, as a means of finding a more confident pathway to your most authentic life, you're in the right place. I have a special interest and knack for working with individuals in leadership and helping positions find grounding, balance, and most importantly, self acceptance. My approach will be tailored just for you, utilizing a blend of holistic, integrative, trauma-informed approaches including Internal Family Systems (or "parts work"), somatic work, and mindfulness. You are way more than your brain-all of you should be acknowledged in therapy!
In our work, you’ll find that I am lovingly direct, warm, authentic, playful, and deeply compassionate. With a neurodivergent brain, high sensitivity, and strong intuition, you’ll find both comfort in my authenticity, and challenge in my passion for deep, expansive work intended to push you to to a new level of curiosity, clarity, and confidence.
I am a member of and advocate for the LGBTQIA(plus) community, believe that Black Lives Matter, and that every single human deserves an equitable existence. All genders, sexual orientations, races, ethnicities, ages, and bodies are welcome. You are unique; our work together will be too.
