I work with people to untangle the intricate threads of their experiences and reimagine possibilities. My approach helps develop a curiosity and self-awareness practice, encouraging you to explore more liberating ways of thinking, being, and relating. Through deep listening and compassionate inquiry, I will gently guide you to embrace uncertainty and the embodied present as valuable pathways in understanding your journey and navigating the stories of power, connection, and safety within your body. Together, we will engage with identity and social context complexities, always holding space for nuance in lived experience. I believe the therapeutic relationship is central to the process, acting as a dynamic, co-created space where emotional safety and mutual respect form the foundation for insight. I draw on Strengths-Based, Restorative, Somatic, and Narrative frameworks, with a commitment to relational justice. Creativity is encouraged via humor, metaphor, or expressive arts. As a lifelong learner and curious thinker, I find inspiration in the mysteries of interdependence and the poetic complexity of life. My journey is shaped by a graduate degree in Transformative Social Work from the University of Vermont, as well as a professional background in visual design and art direction, both of which inform my perspective.
