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.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

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.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I am an active practitioner. I seek to balance being a safe processing space with implementing strategies and practices to achieve and maintain healing.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

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.
