(she/her)
I am a holistic practitioner with a heart intention to offer a safe, nonjudgmental space for ALL people. I have extensive experience working with marginalized populations and I understand the profound impact of trauma on the whole person: mind, body and spirit. I incorporate mindful somatic approaches, working collaboratively with my clients to create an individualized plan tailored to help him/her receive healing and wholeneess.
In our first session together, I'd like to get to know and understand you and the challenges you're facing. as well as a little bit of your relevant history surrounding your current situation. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
I am an active practitioner. I seek to balance being a safe processing space with implementing strategies and practices to achieve and maintain healing.
Though I have worked with persons of all ages, I am currently best positioned to serve adult individuals who are looking to not just survive or get by, but to thrive. I am a good fit for persons who are willing to engage with their inner experience and implement various strategies to manage their symptoms.
