I have a deep appreciation for diverse backgrounds and experiences and am LGBTQIA+ affirming and enjoy working with adults of all ages. It is important to me to provide a safe space for people of all backgrounds. I believe therapy can be both practical and transformative. I enjoy clients who appreciate doing deep work and will find therapy to be a collaborative and magical alchemy. Conversely, I also appreciate clients who have a skeptical and intellectual approach. I enjoy working with clients who are curious, reflective, and open to exploring the many parts of themselves.
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, addiction, anxiety, and depression.
I really enjoy people and embody the Hakomi concept of "loving presence" where I see what is inspiring, nourishing and lovable about people while maintaining professional boundaries. I offer a playful and compassionate presence and a collaborative, personalized process. Therapy can be a fun and joyful experience as well as one that goes to great depths.
