I work with people navigating major life changes, grappling with grief & loss, or longing to understand their unique emotions and sensations. My approach is grounded in creativity and curiosity. I can help you develop healthier communication skills that may strengthen your connection to yourself and others. Becoming aware of our internal experiences allows us to express our needs with greater clarity. I will listen to you and learn about your intentions so that we can get to the heart of the matter together. I view therapy as a collaborative process, and I enjoy working with people who are committed to their growth and development.
My work stems from a belief that our minds & bodies are inherently intertwined and that we must foster a symbiotic relationship between them. As a nature-based therapist, I offer 1-on-1 therapy and longer, focused therapy intensives. I am trained in EMDR therapy: an incredibly impactful, evidence-based method for reprocessing traumatic experiences.
I honor the courage it takes for you to seek therapy, and I consider it a gift to be able to engage in this work together. I will show up for you with empathy and consistency, building the container of trust necessary for healing. I welcome you to reach out if you'd like to explore working together. I look forward to connecting with you!

The beauty of therapy: "One gift of nonjudgmental, agendaless presence is that a wide road of acceptance opens, so that the inner world of our people gradually begins to sense, experience and trust that every part is equally valued and equally welcome." -Bonnie Badenoch, The Heart of Trauma: Healing the Embodied Brain in the Context of Relationships

I draw upon personalized, trauma-informed interventions focusing on creativity and sensory awareness! I believe that each individual holds innate wisdom, and my role is to help you tune into this inner knowing. EMDR can be a helpful approach for people wanting to move through stuckness, trauma, or painful life experiences.
