A truly safe relationship is a radical space

My Commitment to You:

I bring over a decade of experience and training as a licensed therapist (LCMHC), somatic experiencing practitioner (SEP) and yoga teacher, but I also bring my humanity. I am committed to showing up honestly, authentically, and heart-centered. I am dedicated to learning and unlearning, and am committed to being an accountable partner in your healing.

More about perspectives that guide my work:

With over a decade of experience as a licensed trauma therapist and a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, my work is grounded in the belief that our bodies are not just sites of individual trauma, but also sites of immense wisdom and liberation.

More on my Framework:

Safe Accompaniment: I see my role as walking alongside you. I offer a steady, non-judgmental presence where we can look at your pain without rushing to "solve" it. Because so much of the harm we experience is relational and systemic, the relationship we build in therapy serves as a necessary anchor. Within this safe accompaniment, we can gently untangle old blueprints, release what your body has been holding, and create space for new, more rooted experiences to take hold.

Blueprints of Harm: I recognize that your mental health is deeply tied to the systems we live in. We cannot talk about your anxiety or exhaustion without acknowledging the impact of systemic harm. Many of the "symptoms" we carry are often sane and logical survival responses to insane systemic conditions, that also impact our individual family systems. I believe that to truly understand ourselves, we must look at how our bodies hold the intersections of our individual lives, our ancestral lineages, and the collective harm we navigate daily. 

Collective Grief: I honor the fact that we are all living through a time of intense collective sorrow. I provide a space where your outrage and grief about the state of the world are validated as sane, healthy responses to current events.
