I have a deep appreciation for diverse backgrounds and experiences and am LGBTQIA+ affirming. I believe therapy can be both practical and profoundly transformative, and I enjoy working with clients who are curious, reflective, and open to exploring the many parts of themselves. Whether you are drawn to deep emotional work or prefer a more grounded, intellectual approach, I welcome both.
My approach blends practical tools with the art of deep listening, intuition, and mindfulness. With a foundation in family systems therapy and specialized training as a Certified Hakomi Therapist, I bring a mindfulness-based, body-centered approach to our work together. I have experience supporting clients through trauma, anxiety, depression, and substance use concerns, often finding that these experiences are deeply interconnected.
I embody the Hakomi principle of "loving presence," meaning I hold what is inspiring, nourishing, and lovable about each person while maintaining clear professional boundaries. I offer a playful and compassionate presence and a collaborative, personalized process. Therapy can be joyful and expansive as well as deep and transformative.
