My Practice
Our desires take us to the edge of what we know and then there is the something out there, something beyond the limits of our experience…are you ready to begin this journey?
Welcome! I offer a creative confidential space for you to explore yourself and create the life beyond what you desire. Throughout my personal healing process and work with clients, I have come to know the body and the arts as places of deep potential for reflection, integration and transformation. Our bodies and spirits have the natural ability to heal with support and guidance. Sessions can include conversation, somatic awareness, standing practices, art-making and reflection.
Individuals
I will support you in finding harmony with life by honoring your unique journey. I support my clients creating balance in all areas of life whether you want to address:
- identity
- relationships
- communication
- life purpose
- work life
- education
- activism
- family
- sexuality
- social inequality
- spirituality
Together we can overcome blocks to making the changes you are longing for. And build the skills you’ll need to thrive once you get there. I specialize in resolving challenges with:
- anxiety
- child sexual abuse (adult survivors)
- depression
- gender identity
- relationships/intimacy
- confidence/self-esteem
- sexual orientation
- trauma/PTSD
Tiger’s Eye is a stone of clarity and insight, as well as protection and grounding. Power, aliveness, change, courage and harmony are also associated with this stone. In therapy, we will connect with your own inner-wisdom and build resilience to move through whatever you are facing in this moment. You are stronger than what you’ve been through; more pleasure and healing are possible.
Please contact me for a 20 minute phone or email consultation, free of charge.
Couples
I work with couples to:
- improve communication
- explore sexuality
- deepen intimacy
- navigate changes & challenges
Most partners wait until it’s too late to address how underlying issues and past trauma can play a role in undermining their relationship’s potential. Allowing me to support you all through transitions such as commitment, moving, parenting, mindful separation, and navigating open relationships can take the pressure of your relationship. Together we can use these inevitable changes to create opportunities to increase trust and resilience in your relationship.

Why Therapy?
Are frustrated with your relationships or work life?
Do you spend more energy caring for others than yourself?
Do you feel a longing to live more in alignment with your ideals?
Do you know that to truly find a new way of life the process of change sometimes requires venturing into the unknown?
Are you ready for some deeper and long-lasting changes in your life?
If so, I look forward to hearing from you.
Many people seek therapy when they are experiencing a transition, a challenge or want a new direction. Some become frustrated with negative patterns in their lives. Therapy is a place to explore who you are and learn how to create the changes you want in yourself and your life.
Perhaps you understand what isn’t working in your life or even why you are doing what you are doing. So why do these negative patterns seem to persist no matter how much we may desire change?
Our lives are shaped by diverse and personal circumstances like family relationships, trauma, and social injustice. Because every person comes with a distinctly personal background, my approach to your experiences comes from a place of respect, exploration and open-mindedness. Together we can explore the emotions and patterns that accompany these struggles, as well as develop new and constructive ways to navigate them. My clients find that processing past wounds frees up new energy to put towards their life goals.
How do you begin to make the changes you want in your life? The answer is practicing something new. Therapy is a space for you to try on the way you want to be in your life outside of our sessions.
My commitment to creative healing and growth for my clients is the foundation of my work. I believe that each individual is the expert in their unique life experiences and so I come to our work in the spirit of dynamic collaboration. Therapy is based on healing past wounds and challenging yourself through a trusting relationship in a safe and confidential space. I provide deep listening, support, reflection, somatic practices and art therapy tools. I use an embodied approach that focuses on aligning your desires with your energy, body and actions.
