Mental health is beautifully complex. It is varied, contextual, and feels different for everyone.
Your growth is unique to you but across the spectrum, the vital element to a truly felt sense of wellness is an embodied, compassionate curiosity about our thoughts, feelings, and actions.
Navigating the subtle and overt forces of oppression in daily life can cause some of our most profound suffering. Avoiding, dissociating, or numbing are common ways we cope to stay functional, safe, and sane.
Avoiding or being gripped by emotions can lead to brittle fragility and rigid reactivity. Let’s build emotional safety, resilience, and flexibility by co-creating opportunities to experiment with thinking, feelings, and, most importantly, your being.
We will foster lasting growth grounded in a deeper understanding of who you are and how you want to be in your world.

We might be a good fit if you are ready to:
Shift shame and blame to curiousity and compassion.
Feel more at home in your skin while finding meaning in a balanced, attuned connection to self and others.
Explore and heal intergenerational impacts on your sense of self and belonging.
Grow your capacity for connective conflict.
People drawn to my practice tend to be reflective, interested in their mind/body connection, ready to support their emotional well-being, and open to trying new ways to support their journey of personal growth. Want to learn more about how I work or my background?

From a strengths-based foundation, we will make room to explore what’s getting in the way of your feeling empowered, motivated, and able to enjoy your life. We will seek to heal traumatic experiences stemming from developmental, institutional, social, sexual, and physical trauma. Our exploration will go beyond the individual to understand how the complex intersections of gender, sexuality, race, and class shape your lived experiences, recognizing the distinct impacts of privilege and oppression.

The safety we co-create fosters radical affirmation of the uniqueness of your embodied experiences. Fresh and meaningful encounters support emotional flexibility and joyful engagement with self and others. We will notice and experiment with somatic awareness, relational dynamics showing up in session, and your responses to your thoughts, feelings, and actions. We will create ways to understand knee-jerk safety shapes more deeply.

There are many ways to measure “progress” in therapy. The most reliable way I have witnessed is when we feel better. When we can be compassionately accountable for the ways we have an impact on our selves, our friends, our family, and our community.
When we can enjoy our lives despite struggles, challenges, and suffering, we can flourish.
