I am a mother, a healer, an ally, a CrossFitter, Jewish-American, CIS-gendered, queer woman. I am exposed to both privilege and marginalization and although I do not have shared experiences with all intersectionalities, I offer an unconditional curiosity that allows for a safe and transformative space. I am direct, compassionate, relational, ethical non-monogomy/poly-friendly, trauma-informed, BIPOC allied, sex worker friendly, LGBTQIA2S+ allied, and spiritual... just a flavor of what you will get with me.

I work with relationship dynamics of all kinds whether it's relationship with another or relationship with yourself. I use a relational, psychodynamic, and a trauma informed lens to support healing for all. Whether you are seeking healing from complex trauma (C-PTSD) or from patterns that lead to suffering I will help you move into a dynamic of healing, ease, connection, and light.
