Work HistoryI work with people who want to feel more at home with themselves and in their lives. My clients have experienced things that leave them feeling hurt, fearful and disconnected. In session we'll meet protective and vulnerable aspects of you. As you befriend these parts, painful stories will loosen their grip and new meaning can emerge. Clients leave sessions with me feeling closer to themselves, able to move with forward with clarity and presence. I have experience working with adult adoptees, and bring both personal and professional understanding of the complexities of identity, belonging, and grief associated with being adopted.
I weave together multiple approaches within and beyond traditional psychotherapy. I’m an Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapist, and am trained in EMDR for trauma reprocessing. I also incorporate mindfulness and somatic practices into sessions.
I also offer reiki, a gentle form of energy healing that can support regulation, rest, and integration. As a practitioner of tarot, astrology, and ancestral veneration, I can weave these lens into our work when it feels supportive and aligned.
Therapy intensives offered on Saturdays!
