Welcome!

I specialize in blending somatic and evidence based therapies to help creative people who are struggling with anxiety or low self esteem to gain the confidence to take risks and build a more meaningful life.

My style is warm, curious and collaborative. I offer a safe space for you to talk through what is going on, and I help you understand why things may be feeling the way they are feeling.

Additionally, you will have opportunities to engage in mindfulness-based therapies to deepen your understanding of yourself. You will also have opportunities to learn and practice new skills and strategies for greeting life’s difficulties, your thoughts, and your feelings.

I have special insight into the needs of artists, new parents, and individuals in high stress careers, and bring a trauma-informed approach to exploring themes of body image and disordered eating

Together we can slow down, figure out what’s going on, and begin to heal.

 

You are welcome here!

My practice is LGBTQIA+ affirming and I strive for humility and curiosity around themes of race and faith.

I came to explore the wreck. / The words are purposes. / The words are maps.
I came to see the damage that was done / and the treasures that prevail.
