About My Clients
If you are exploring your relationship to substances, identify as a people pleaser or perfectionist, or want to explore and work through shame and trauma, we may be a great fit. Our work together may include building sources of support, releasing internalized shame, recognizing the impact of systemic issues on your trauma (oppression, racism, white supremacy, intergenerational trauma, to name a few), and building your sense of empowerment and self-trust.
My Background and Approach
I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC), Board-Certified Dance-Movement Therapist (BC-DMT), Reiki Master/Teacher. I specialize in addiction, anxiety, depression, and trauma. My approach is a holistic one, and I often incorporate mindfulness and other mind-body interventions. I truly believe you are the expert on your needs and experience and am here to help you tune into your wisdom and healing goals. The term "empathic accountability" describes my general approach - I help hold you accountable to your healing with a nurturing yet direct approach. I utilize DBT, ACT, and existential frameworks and am open to including alternative healing and spiritual wellness into the therapy space. I’m here to help you listen to your own wisdom and take aligned actions (which often means doing less and being more). It is my belief that you have the answers — you just need some support to uncover or rediscover them.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I love helping people discover the healthiest versions of themselves, whether that’s through therapy, energy work, movement, workshops, or trainings. Through my own unlearning of perfectionism and hustle culture, I’ve seen the importance of being over doing. We are so often bombarded by messages of tackling the next goal, becoming “successful,” and general busy-ness that we become balls of stress and racing thoughts. And although so many around us are experiencing similar overwhelm and frustration, we find it hard to open up and relate. So instead, we bury things, feel misunderstood, ignore feelings, and eventually burn out. I hope our work together will help you settle, soften, and breathe into the healthiest version of you. I am on my own journey of thriving, not just surviving, and love supporting my clients in doing the same. In my free time, I love to dance, try new hobbies (pottery is the latest), and travel.
