Experience a transformative therapy journey that combines mind-body healing with my unique, holistic approach. As a warm and direct therapist, I assist individuals facing a wide range of life challenges, including breakups, heartache, gender transitions, trauma, harm reduction, and sobriety. My experience as an herbalist informs my therapy work in assisting people to think about resources they can use along the way to a longer-term therapy process. Individuals I've worked with have shared that they were surprised by the ease with which they could discuss complex topics in the safe and welcoming therapeutic space I create. I value diversity and am honored to work with individuals from various racial and cultural backgrounds, including the LGBTQIA+ communities. Together, we'll explore the layers of who you are, support parts of you that are anxious to find ease, and assist you in finding balance in your life.

I offer a unique and holistic therapy experience that combines mind-body healing with a focus on working with highly sensitive individuals. You may be a compassionate person who genuinely loves supporting others and sometimes loses yourself in the process, or you may be working with intergenerational trauma. I pride myself on creating a safe, welcoming space where people can feel at ease discussing complex and challenging topics, often incorporating humor and metaphors to facilitate the process.
As a white-identified therapist, I recognize the importance of ongoing learning and growth in understanding structural, personal, and cultural aspects of racism. I strive to apply an intersectional lens to my work while fostering a diverse and inclusive therapeutic environment. I am honored to collaborate with individuals from various racial, cultural, and LGBTQIA+ backgrounds, honoring their lived experiences.
I look forward to connecting with you! Send me a message to schedule a free, 20-minute phone consultation to see if we're a good fit to work together on your path toward healing and growth.
