Research has shown that the therapeutic relationship is the strongest indicator of success for the client! While tools and trainings can support you further, when the vibe is right, deeper trust and safety can be cultivated to access real lasting change. Genuine care and curiosity drive my time with you, and YOU are the leader of your life! I am here to witness and support your journey.

I believe the body is our deepest source of wisdom and power. We focus on reconnecting to your physical experience and creating a relationship with your body in which you can be in tune with and trust yourself. I offer somatic experientials, mindfulness tools, and lots of pauses to check-in with what is actually happening. The thread between sensation, thought, and emotion becomes more fluid, and we practice what it means for you to be embodied.

Within my somatic trainings, I understand that accessing the body can go deep quickly. Because of this, I support you in building foundational tools to create and access resources to support you, learn to regulate physiological and emotional reactions, know your boundaries and enforce them, as well as build resiliency through practice.

This overlays with the body-centered pillar. In our work, we will use mindfulness to connect to present moment experience to track breath, sensation, thought, and emotion. You will learn how to become a less judgmental observer of your inner world, and practice cultivating compassion towards self and others. Clients often recognize a sense of peace, understanding, and ability to hold the bigger picture rather than a narrow minded view.

I do my best to do ongoing work of my own biases, underlying assumptions, and areas of privilege. Our therapeutic work includes the inevitable overlay of institutional and systemic oppression, racism, and privilege. We can explore this intentionally, or it will likely come up to be explored at some point. This work is meaningful for individual and collective change.
