THE HEAVINESS FROM CARRYING THE WEIGHT OF PAST WOUNDS IS BECOMING too much to bear.

You've carried this pain long enough. Maybe it's trauma that won't stop showing up no matter how much you've processed it. From unwanted patterns and reactions, a sense of disconnection from yourself, your body, or the people around you. Maybe you're part of a community that hasn't always felt safe in a therapy office. Or maybe you just know that the way you've been living is no longer working, and you're ready to do what it takes to step into the next version of you.

THIS IS A SPACE TO SHOW UP EXACTLY AS YOU ARE.

This is a space where you get to be exactly who you are. I try to lead with rawness, humility, and humor, because I believe the therapeutic relationship works best when it feels authentic and genuinely human. I bring my whole self to the session in hopes that it encourages you to feel safe bringing yours.

I believe that true healing cannot happen through talk alone so our work together weaves body-based practices, sensation awareness, and deep intuitive insight, moving between practical tools and insightful reflection. My hope is that you leave session more grounded and present.

I've walked my own path. This allows me the honor of guiding you in yours.

I don't just understand this work intellectually. I have lived it. As a yoga teacher, a member of the LGBTQ+ community, and someone who has done my own deep healing work through personal challenges and my own adoption story, I bring something to this space that goes beyond clinical training. I understand how identity shapes experience, how the body holds what the mind can't verbalize, and how becoming whole, truly and completely whole, changes everything, inside and out.

My GUIDING PRINCIPLES

Healing is a whole-body, whole-soul experience

Lasting change doesn't happen from the neck up. True healing engages the nervous system, the body, and the spirit, not just the thinking mind.

Integration is the destination, not just insight

Understanding what happened is only part of the work. The goal is weaving it all together, mind, body, identity, and experience, into a life that feels whole.

Every person deserves to feel safe being fully themselves

The therapy room should be a place of radical acceptance. Whoever you are, whatever you carry, you belong here exactly as you are.

The body knows what the mind hasn't caught up to yet

Your nervous system holds wisdom your conscious mind is still catching up to. Learning to listen to it is one of the most powerful things you can do in healing.

True healing requires going beneath the surface

Insight is a starting point, not a destination. Real transformation happens at the deeper levels where talk therapy often can't reach.

Attachment shapes wellness in ways that can't be ignored

Who you are, your relationships, your community, your culture, your lived experience, are inseparable from your mental and emotional health. I honor the whole person, not just the symptoms.

CLIENTS TRUST ME BECAUSE I SHOW UP AS A WHOLE PERSON, not just a clinician.

I don't believe healing happens in a room where one person holds all the power. When you work with me, I'm not the authority in the room. We're two humans working toward the same goal. I show up as a whole person. My training is part of that, but so is humor, humility, and my own healing journey. I've found that when I bring all of that into the room, people feel safe enough to bring all of themselves too.

People often tell me they've never felt so comfortable being fully themselves. That means everything to me. I take the trust you place in me seriously and I honor it by showing up with the same authenticity and openness I'm asking of you.

My training reflects that same commitment to depth and excellence. I’ve sought out continued education and certification in a variety of evidence-based, trauma informed methods to bring my clients the most up to date, cutting edge, and effective approaches to true healing. Additionally, my training as a Yoga Teacher helps me in bringing a rare combination of rigorous clinical training, spirituality, body based practices, experience and wisdom to every session. I've traveled my own internal landscape. That's what makes it possible to walk yours with you.

HOW I WORK

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is a brain-based therapy that helps process traumatic memories and experiences that have gotten stuck in the nervous system. Rather than talking about what happened, EMDR works directly with how your brain and body are still holding it, allowing you to finally move through what words alone couldn't shift.

01

Internal Family Systems therapy is based on the idea that we are all made up of different parts, each with their own voice, role, and story. Rather than fighting the parts of yourself that feel difficult or confusing, IFS helps you understand them, befriend them, and ultimately lead from your most grounded, whole self. For couples, IFIO brings this same framework into the relationship, helping each partner understand their own parts and how they show up together, creating space for deeper connection, understanding, and genuine intimacy.

02

Healing doesn't end when the session does. Integration is the process of weaving together everything that emerges in therapy, making meaning of it, embodying it, and bringing it into your daily life. Whether you are processing a new sensation felt in the body, a shift in your nervous system, a new relationship with the different parts of yourself, or a profound psychedelic experience, I place a deep emphasis on integration as an ongoing practice, ensuring that the insights and shifts from our work together become a lasting part of who you are.
