Welcome~

I am an integrative therapist—a guide into and through the interior wilderness.

Integrative therapy is an individualized, holistic approach to therapy that considers an individual’s mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual health in a unified way.

By joining elements of different psychological theories, integrative therapists offer a more flexible and inclusive approach that serve the unique needs of each client.

Therapist and client work as partners, seeking to get to the heart of the matter and heal core wounds.

I work with people experiencing: stress, chronic pain, anxiety, depression, PTSD, trauma including sexual and ritual abuse, addiction, transitions, LGBTQIA2S+ issues, grief, issues regarding ableism/class/religious oppression/race/gender identity, ancestral trauma, eco-anxiety, or redefining purpose.

My therapeutic philosophy is to support people in accessing their inherent wisdom and guidance, thereby increasing their ability to embody their own true nature. This often leads to a feeling of greater fulfillment, love, compassion, wholeness, ease and joy. Some have likened it building a deep and expanded state of awareness.

If you’d like to further the conversation, contact me here.

I specialize in decolonizing, narrative, somatic and deep ecological approaches to healing. No matter what our age, the choice is there to re-pattern our neurological pathways, to gain perspective, to understand the forces (both oppressive and ‘useful’) that influenced how we formed our assumptions and beliefs, and therefore how we perceived our reality.

From this ‘witness self’ place we can re-author our stories and be focused on who we actually are and who we are becoming outside of old narratives (decolonizing and narrative therapy).

We include both the mind and the body (somatic) and invite an understanding that we are not more important than other species. We seek to co-exist and respect all sentient beings (deep ecology).

This work supports us in clearing karmic patterns, and retrieving parts of themselves that have been obscured through trauma, our deficit-oriented culture, and everyday living.

We will develop practices that you can cultivate outside our sessions that support your overall well-being.

In my experience this work can benefit anyone–even those with years of therapeutic experience.

Our personal evolution impacts the collective and that is one of the reasons I am so passionate about this work.

I hope to hear from you!
