Biographical Info
My drive to be in the presence of our deepest and innermost experience has guided me to pursue an embodied path to healing and awakening our authenticity from the inside out. The approach to my work in all aspects of life, both clinical and creative, is intersectional, body-centric, and oriented towards the sensory and spiritual depth of our somatic experience.

I offers a trauma-informed, sex-positive, intersectional, and social justice-oriented frame that is rooted in attachment theory, depth psychology, and body-oriented approaches to psychotherapy. My passion for helping individuals, partners, and couples heal and recover from personal, collective, and intergenerational traumas and ruptures is held in connection with honoring each individual’s expression of self with another from the inside out.
