We Are Drawn To Our Natural Rhythms
As someone who has had their own continuous journey with sleep, restfulness and dreams—I’m not leading you anywhere into the depths of the night that I haven’t been.
I come with a satchel full of useful tools and a humble curiosity about what it means to rest well, and try again.
I work best with clients who are looking to cultivate a better understanding with themselves with curiosity, compassion, and creativity. In our work together my biggest intention to assist you in building your own, personalized roadmap to rest.
Through my scientific, theraputic, and land-based training, I also know that sleep, stress, rest, and dreams change seasonally. I do my best to tailor our work together to fit the changing seasons in our lives—both internal and external.

Treatment Approach
- Art Therapy Uses creative activities like drawing, painting, or sculpture as a way to express emotions. It is especially helpful when words are hard to find.
- Behavioral Therapy Uses learning techniques like reinforcement and practice to change unwanted behaviors. It is often applied to phobias, anxiety, and habits.
- Biofeedback / Neurofeedback Teaches people to control body or brain activity using real-time monitoring. It’s often used for stress, anxiety, ADHD, and migraines.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) One of the most widely used approaches, CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with healthier patterns. It is effective for anxiety, depression, and many other concerns.
- Contemplative Psychotherapy Combines mindfulness and meditation practices with modern psychology. It encourages awareness and compassion as part of the healing process.
- Dance / Movement Therapy Uses movement and body awareness to express emotions and improve mental health. It can increase confidence, reduce stress, and support healing.
- Developmental Therapy Looks at how childhood and developmental experiences affect current challenges. It aims to repair unmet needs and foster healthy growth.
- Eclectic Therapy Draws from different therapeutic methods based on what fits each client best. It is flexible and personalized rather than following one single model.
- Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) Focuses on strengthening emotional bonds in couples or families. It helps people identify negative cycles and create more secure connections.
- Experiential Therapy Involves hands-on activities to bring emotions into the present moment. It helps clients process feelings more deeply than through conversation alone.
- Internal Family Systems (IFS) Helps clients heal by working with different ‘parts’ of themselves, like inner critics or wounded children. It fosters harmony within the self.
- Jungian Therapy Draws on Carl Jung’s ideas about archetypes, dreams, and the collective unconscious. It helps people explore deeper layers of meaning.
- Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) Combines mindfulness practices with CBT to prevent depression relapse. It helps people notice thoughts without judgment and respond more calmly.
- Narrative Therapy Encourages people to view problems as separate from themselves and reframe their life story. It helps build resilience and self-identity.
- Neuropsychology Examines how brain function affects thinking, memory, and behavior. It often involves assessment and rehabilitation strategies.
- Play Therapy Uses toys, games, and creative play to help children express emotions. It is especially useful when children can’t fully verbalize their feelings.

My sessions are heavily mindfulness and self-compassion based. We start each session with a mindfulness practice to check in and arrive in the present moment before diving in. During our sessions, we co-create what is most useful for you in this particular season of your life. For some, this looks like psychoeducation, habit and behavioral shifts, and nitty gritty detailed accounts of what's going on in their sleep and stress rhythms. For others, the focus shifts to the internal landscape of dreams, desires, and creative practices—fully backed by scientific and soulful practices specific to you, your life, and your current needs.
