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.
First session
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.
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.
Ideal clients
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.
Treatment methods
EMDR
I am a EMDR Certified Therapist who incorporates EMDR practices, as appropriate, with my client. This not only includes reprocessing past trauma but also increasing internal resources. As a holistic practitioner, I work collaboratively with the whole client to help them thrive.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I am extensively trained in DBT and implement mindfulness practices balanced with strategies/skills to achieve your life worth living.
Mind-body approach
As a holistic practitioner, I incorporate somatic, mind-body practices to facilitate the release of held trauma and emotions.
