About

As a Counselor and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP), I support and hold space for the healing of all kinds of trauma. I enjoy working with clients who seek support with chronic illness, sexuality, self growth, relationships & attachment, life transitions, family, systemic trauma and multigenerational or cultural matters. I believe we are deeply impacted by the cultural, social and historical contexts to which we originate, exist, and navigate; therefore I strive to attune to and support these facets of your experience in our work.

My work ultimately aims to support you in experiencing yourself authentically, spaciously and in connection with yourself and the surrounding world. I utilize a collaborative, client centered and experiential approach to therapy that centers on each client's unique personality, goals and needs.

My primary modality is Somatic Experiencing, which is a therapeutic approach used to address trauma-related stress responses. I also enjoy integrating parts work, narrative therapy, imagery and the magic of the natural world. Please reach out if you're interested in working together!
