So, this life thing is super hard sometimes. And since 2020, life has been even harder for all of us. For those of us who have a trauma history, it's sometimes felt like more than we can bear. Relationships have changed or ended, many of us have come to a deeper understanding about ourselves and communities. Some of this new understanding has been challenging our coping skills we developed in the “before times”, often leaving us feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, grieving and anxious. My personal philosophy is this: we recover best in community, finding our people with whom we can develop mutually supportive environments. The therapeutic perspective I most connect with combines body awareness with a trauma-informed approach. With over twenty years of experience as a massage therapist and a multi-modal bodyworker as well as a mental health counselor, I love supporting people by providing a safe space to connect with their own wealth of experience and personal awareness. My goal is to provide an inclusive, socially aware and intersectional environment to support my clients as they navigate issues and overcome challenges to thrive. I have a passion for social justice work and bring that perspective to the room with the goal to ensure my clients feel seen and honored.
