About me
I’ve worked with tons of folks over the last 15 years and I have felt so honored to witness those journeys and I truly believe everyone deserves love and respect and I’m passionate about you find that within yourself.
It is a privilege to share sacred space and bear witness to the rich tapestry of stories, transformations, challenges, and liberation that my clients seek. Therapy is about prioritizing your needs, protecting your core values, and cultivating an emotionally safe life by tolerating all the difficult sensations that arise with emotions. I strive to help my clients to feel empowered, liberated and safe by learning to soothe through difficult feelings and situations to learn to trust themselves.
Whether you are struggling with an Eating Disorder, Trauma, Anxiety/Depression or Parenting Issues, you deserve to acknowledge the goodness that is at the core of being human and cultivate a meaningful relationship with your emotions, body and needs. I weave an Anti-racist, Feminist, and HAES model seamlessly into my practice with each client, no matter the focus. It is a disservice to be a mental health provider without recognizing the oppressive systems, such as patriarchy and White Supremacy, that shape and shadow our lives each day.
In harmony with Trauma-informed CBT, I also delve into Attachment theory, captivated by its insights into the unmet needs of early development, which illuminate the struggles of adulthood and diminish shame. Central to our collaborative journey will be mindful self-compassion strategies, guiding emotional regulation and fostering resilience. Together, these scientifically supported frameworks, paired with our shared curiosity and commitment, will pave the way to a more joyful existence.
