I’ve been a somatic trauma therapist for over 17 years. I believe healing can only happen interpersonally. I’ve worked mostly with the LGBTQ+ community, but straights are welcome ;) Body/Mind facilitation to holistically release effects of systemic trauma in the body and thought patterning, rewire neural pathways to create positive subconscious programming, release effects of pandemic isolation and retrain body/mind to access deeper forms of trust/intimacy

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

We start with what you need help with in the here and now. I believe it can cause harm to dive into your life history too soon. We work at connecting, resourcing, and helping you get necessary tools/awareness to make your present life more manageable to start.

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

I’m a love warrior. I’m funny and direct. I believe the best work is done when we allow to bring our full selves. I engage in generative conflict, repair, and interdependent accountability.
