About
My person-centered and integrative approach stems from the belief that you hold the power to heal from the inside out. However, as layers of stress, trauma and adversity build up, we are often disconnected from ourselves and this intrinsic potential. I aim to support you in reclaiming this power so that you become the expert of your internal world. By doing so, we don’t necessarily escape the inevitable challenges of life but instead find connection to a capacity within ourselves that helps us navigate life’s ups and downs with greater resiliency, meaning and authenticity.
I work with both individuals and couples. My areas of focus include generalized anxiety/depression, life transitions, relationships and developmental trauma. My style is relational, warm, open-minded, humorous and honest. With deep compassion and curiosity we work collaboratively to discover conditioned beliefs and patterns that no longer serve you and focus on how to cultivate the desired changes you hold for your life.
My Journey
At a young age I was introduced to a multitude of holistic health practices which developed into a life-long passion for the healing arts and our mind-body-spirit connection. I hold a Bachelors of Science in Kinesiology (the study of human body movement) and a decade of experience working as a wellness retreat coordinator and a yoga instructor. My understanding of healing as a blending of both art and science naturally transitioned me into the field of counseling. My passion for the mind-body-spirit connection informs my experiential style in which I draw on parts work, somatic techniques, mindfulness practices, depth psychology, interpersonal neurobiology and knowledge of the nervous system to support emotional embodiment and invite space for spontaneous healing and growth.
I completed my Master’s in Counseling Psychology at Pacifica Graduate Institute with an emphasis in professional clinical counseling, marriage and family therapy and depth psychology. Through my education, training, as well as my own personal journey I understand the complexities of this being human and appreciate the deep healing potential of self-exploration. It is an honor to get the chance to walk alongside and support you through your journey.
