I am here for you.
When life feels full of hardship, anxiety, grief, heaviness, and injustice, we do not have to hold the suffering alone. As a therapist and somatic practitioner, my goal is to provide a compassionate space where connection, trust, and inherent wisdom can grow. I will sit with you to understand and hold the space you are seeking to support your healing, relationships, and ability to restore meaning, centeredness, and joy in life. If stress and trauma are overwhelming your nervous system or your ability to live as your true self, therapy can be a space to ground together and take care of what is arising for you.
The therapeutic relationship I build with my clients - both individuals and couples - is incredibly important to me. I feel privileged to see my clients reconnect with their capacity to feel calm, curiosity, clarity, compassion, confidence, courage, creativity, and connectedness in their lives. My trauma informed approach integrates my training in Internal Family Systems, Brainspotting, Trauma Resilience Model, Narrative Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Buddhism, Mindfulness, and Yoga.

As a queer nonbinary person of color, my healing work has also led me to engage in anti-oppression education, racial solidarity building & systems change, land based practice, and community arts for nearly 15 years.
I believe that our healing and liberation is deeply interconnected with all beings and the earth. Your suffering is connected to my own suffering, and so is your liberation. For me, learning and struggling towards a liberatory future of abolition, decolonization, health, and sovereignty for all is an ongoing practice.
I enjoy cooking it up, walking in nature, making art, kissing my cat, and being with community to fill up my cup in this wild world. Please feel free to reach out to me for therapy &/or other collaborations, and I look forward to meeting you.
