Sessions with me vary from week to week, based on what it is you are needing to address in the moment. Using a wide variety of therapy modalities in combo with holistic practices, we can work through everything from day-to-day struggles to deep-seated trauma. Rest assured, we will always find something to explore and learn about together. Through deep critical thinking and gentle, intentional processing, we will find your unique therapeutic style pulling from your choice of healing modalities. My goal is to use my background in healing practices to inform our sessions. Through my very intentional approach, I hope to aid you find which modalities you are most comfortable processing your experiences. At the end of the day, you are in control of your healing and how each therapy session flows!
I want all my clients to know that they are safe to discover whatever they want to learn about their lived experiences. Working with me is very autonomous and rooted in self-determination. You will act as the guide along your healing journey. I am happy to serve as a resource center, grounding presence, and conversationalist throughout your journey. I will always encourage you to show up as you are and trust that the rest will follow as we untangle the many strings that make up our mind, heart, and lived experiences. I function through a culturally sensitive and trauma-informed lens, incorporating art healing, meditation & mindfulness, and various trauma therapies to help clients feel seen, heard, and healthily challenged.

Outside the therapy room, I am an artist, I spend a lot of my time writing poetry, dancing, and creating art in all forms! I also enjoy getting out in nature and spending time with my partner and our daughter, as well as close friends! You can also find me meditating and intention-setting, while taking long walks in nature that help me feel re-centered.
-
Accessibility to therapy services is something incredibly important to me, and I do all that I can to make sure I can see clients no matter their financial situation. I am an advocate, supporter, and fighter for all things accessible regardless of race, class, or gender identity in ALL spaces. I will work with you to meet you where you are at, or find you the support you need elsewhere in the community.

Lastly,
While I completely understand that asking for help isnt at all easy. I wholeheartedly believe that we all have the strength deep within us to face hardships and process our various lived experiences. Anything is possible with the right combination of intention, support, and resources.
Therapy is for everyone, and anyone up for journeying through the depths of their mind, heart, and soul. If you are ready to discover your strengths and connect with different parts of yourself, I would be delighted and honored to walk alongside you and promote growth throughout different areas of your healing journey.
