I am a relational therapist committed to building strong, compassionate connections with my clients through a holistic approach that blends an existential-humanistic lens, interpersonal neurobiology (brain science based attachment), and narrative (the stories we tell ourselves and how they shape our understanding of the world). My approach centers on trauma-informed care, emphasizing the importance of the mind-body connection. I aim to create a space where clients can safely explore their deeper selves through mindfulness and creative expression through a variety of mediums including digital photography, fiber arts, writing, clay, painting & drawing. My work is non-traditional, focusing on somatic awareness and helping clients understand how their nervous system affects their mental health. My client sessions are a journey that begins with tuning into the body, moves through creative exploration, and ends with mindful reflection on the changes experienced during the process.
I work from a neuroqueer, anti-racist framework, blending trauma-informed care with art and somatic therapy. My therapeutic approach is rooted in creative expression and mindfulness which helps guide clients back into connection with their sense of self. I believe in balancing evidence-based tools with the magic and mystery of ancient techniques, embracing both modern psychology and timeless healing practices. My therapeutic focus includes somatics, trauma, grief & loss of all kinds, identity shifts/transitions, LGBTQIA+ experiences and toxic work environments. Together, we explore creativity and how it can deepen the therapeutic relationship, opening new pathways for healing.
I provide individual and group therapy, available both virtually and in person. My sessions are tailored to the unique needs of each client, blending traditional talk therapy with creative and mindfulness based interventions. I specialize in trauma-informed, somatic therapy, which allows clients to reconnect with their body and mind in a safe, non-judgmental space. For those needing longer, more intensive sessions, I offer extended formats to accommodate deeper exploration. I currently work with individuals, couples, and groups, using a combination of mindfulness, art, and movement to create a healing space for all.
I specialize in helping clients connect to their authentic selves, guiding them through life’s transitions, including grief, career changes, and personal identity exploration. I often work with individuals who have been dissatisfied with traditional therapy approaches, particularly those dealing with stress, anxiety, and depression in environments like toxic workplaces. I am skilled at helping clients navigate identity issues, including queer identity, differentiation from family expectations, and awakening to systemic oppression. My work is particularly impactful for those who seek more than just talking about problems and are ready for creative, embodied ways of healing.

I do not accept insurance, but you may be eligible for a full or partial reimbursement of fees paid to me as an out-of-network provider, depending on your specific insurance benefits. If you’re interested in exploring this option, I encourage you to bring it up during our initial consultation or at any point in our work together.
I currently accept cash and debit/credit cards. Payment is due at the end of each session. If you need to cancel your appointment, a 24-hour notice is required to avoid being charged for the session. If you are more than 20 minutes late for your scheduled appointment and have not contacted me to let me know you are coming, I reserve the right to leave the office.
Some of my personal favorite somatic expressions include roller skating, aerial silks, building strength at a local femme owned kettle bell gym and of course practicing and teaching yoga. I love nerding out on textiles and fiber arts and I find grounding and connection to the world around me through nature and time in the woods. Some new favorite hobbies are chainsawing and foraging for mushrooms.
