Do you seek relief from anxiety, low self worth, ruminating thoughts? Are you creative, highly sensitive, or a "black sheep"? I see you! I can provide a rich connection, safe space to explore, and teach coping tools + skills. I use brain science, evidence-based techniques, somatic, Jungian, mindful CBT, IFS/Parts Work & arts therapies in our work. I also believe we all have innate gifts/strengths that we reactivate through meaningful connections, like therapy. Together, we'll transform your anxiety, trauma, and relationship issues by exploring stories, editing automatic beliefs, and releasing emotions your body hold to gain peace.

I'm a holistic, trauma-informed therapist. Together, we'll collaborate on goals and explore issues + narratives to gain insight to root causes, integrate strengths, and learn exercises like mindfulness, somatics, art/sound healing, self-compassion, dream work to reinforce changes and growth. I'm also experienced in esoteric spirituality for 30+ years.

If you're seeking a genuine bond enveloped in warmth, connection + non-judgment for yourself, you+partner, or child, I'd love to meet you! I hold a comfortable yet brave, safe space to unburden, heal, transform and achieve goals that may not feel possible right now. Please message me to set up a call to chat, then we can begin your transformation journey.

I often use Parts Work, neuroscience, Jungian work (dream amplification, symbol exploration, art/writing exercises), creating ritual, guided meditations, and somatic exercises. We will explore together, and I will share reflections that allow you to go deeper... This catalyzes those very rewarding "a-ha" moments of insight that alchemize and integrate your emotional lead into personal power gold.
