Glimmer- verb shine faintly with a wavering light. It is my most sincere belief that everyone deserves to live a life they enjoy living. And it is my belief that the ability to indulge in this is already inside you. As your therapist I am here to simply help you uncover and source what is already there. I invite you to become curious about yourself in the safe container of our sessions so that you can cultivate self-compassion in this process. I draw from my education, training and personal experiences in my work with clients. My approach is based on the idea that healing is a relational process: I will collaborate with you to create a space where the you feel safe, seen, and understood. I am EMDR therapy trained and with that in addition to polyvagal and somatic informed tools I will help you along your path of self-discovery. In my practice, I combine traditional and nontraditional methods to help you heal and explore through a process that is playful, accepting, and empathetic. During our sessions, we will focus on cultivating the awareness and skills that will help you find YOU. “we are all just walking eachother home” -ram das

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

In the first session I will conduct an intake assessment where you will get a chance to let me know what brought you in. I will ask you a full history and other information about your life so that I can get to know you and your story better.

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

I am an experiential psychotherapist with lived experience in addition to my professional skill set.
