About My Clients

My clients are often highly sensitive, creative, and neurodiverse. Clients come to me to work on a variety of issues including depression, trauma, anxiety, and ADHD so they can cope with stress, manage emotions, and improve their relationships.

My Background and Approach

As a trauma-informed therapist, I interweave therapeutic methods including Somatic Experiencing (SE) and Internal Family Systems (IFS). My goal is to build a relationship based on safety, trust, and respect, where you feel accepted and challenged to grow in new and meaningful ways. Together, we will blend conversation, mindfulness, and body-based practices to help you uncover your authentic self, challenge old patterns, and create space for new possibilities. Whether you're dealing with trauma, anxiety, depression, or relationship issues, I'm here to support you with warmth, intuition, and empathy.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

My approach is non-judgmental, compassionate, body-based, inclusive, and LGBTQIA-affirmative. I see counseling as an opportunity to help people navigate pain and suffering, cope with life’s challenges—both normal and extraordinary—and orient towards joy, purpose, and self-acceptance. It is a privilege to walk with someone through their fears, shadows, and uncertainty, helping them experience healing and restoration.
