My Story and education

ABOUT ME

I used to think change happened

from a choice.

Then I learned through witnessing clients, that change takes safety, feeling emotions in relationship to ourselves, others and perhaps something greater than us.

MY STORY.

I've been practicing as a Marriage & Family Therapist specializing in somatic IFS, depth psychology, trauma & embodiment for 7 years.

Through my own journey into motherhood, I began healing using meditation, movement, sacred plant medicine and spiritual expansion. Having walked a path of Lyme disease, illness and recovery myself, I bring deep energetic empathy, and trust in the mind, body and soul's capacity to heal. The most vital relationship is the one inside of us.

I strive to use the tools I've learned and amazing growth I've witnessed in client's lives, to inform and update my work as we go. I am beyond grateful to serve others as I continue to evolve.

Ideal clients are: Adults 18 years or older. Individual, or Partners dating, married, divorced, coparenting, family. LGBTQ+, Polyamory/ENM/kink, spiritual & chronic illness communities.
