My approach is direct, warm, non-judgmental and collaborative.

I aim to support you on your journey towards reconnecting with your most authentic, most alive and loving self.  I hope to provide a safe space for you to learn how to re-occupy your own body and feel safe to be your-mosaic complex self.  I strongly believe that you already hold the wisdom to heal yourself, I am here to assist and be with you while we lean in and re-discovering what your body already knows. 

Sometimes we find ourselves landed somewhere along our life path where we have lost touch with our passion, or the person we know ourselves to be, or the life we had imagined for ourselves. Life happens, and somethings are out of our control – but what we can control is our awareness and ability to respond to what happens with more choicefulness. 

My work as a non-pathologizing, Humanistic Gestalt Psychotherapist is client centered and strength based.  I work relationally and rely on Transpersonal, Jungian, and EcoPsychology roots as pillars of guidance. I use somatic techniques, parts work, poetry and mindfulness exercises to support the expansion of present moment awareness. I may also use dream-work, inner child work and CBT to facilitate a different angle of self-discovery. 

Whoever you are, and wherever you have come from, please know that you are welcome here. Your healing journey or path of self-discovery will be as unique as you are...  I welcome all races, classes, religions, sexual orientations, gender expressions, nuero-divserities, cultures, able-isms, sexualities, and bodies. I use a trauma informed, all-inclusive social justice lens and aim to draw awareness to systems of oppression that manifest in sneaky ways in our everyday encounters. 

I work with individual, couples and children. In the past I have worked with edlers, healers, sensitive types, activists, athletes, multicultural backgrounds, and people who have experienced corporate burnout.

Looking for a therapist can be a daunting experience. It's hard to get a feel for someone from just a photo and some words about therapy. I am happy to offer a free 15-20 minute consultation for us to get a sense of each other and see if it feels right to work together
