How Can I Help?

I work somatically with you, meaning that I help you connect with your body to recognize what it’s feeling, when, and why. We then use that information to help you manage your emotions, relax your body and increase feelings of safety. I also highlight your strengths, challenge thinking patterns, and incorporate mindfulness, grounding, and personalized coping strategies based on your lifestyle and interests.

What is My Approach?

I take your experiences seriously and co-create a nurturing environment that empowers you to push yourself slowly beyond where you’re comfortable. While I will work collaboratively with you, I will also hold you accountable, challenge you to own your experiences and be directive in the service of empowering yourself.

More About Me: Growing up with challenges like divorce, addiction, loss, and cultural identity struggles, I understand the courage therapy takes. My six years with AmeriCorps and work with diverse groups—unhoused individuals, incarcerated teens, and crime survivors—fuel my passion for supporting growth and resilience.
