I am an LGBTQIA+ identifying and affirming therapist, Reiki Master and Certified Breath Coach. As a former chair of the Diversity Committee for a large mental health center, I had the honor of becoming a Certified Diversity, Equity and Inclusive (DEI) practitioner. I have a firm belief in celebrating diversity and uniqueness. I may have taken the quote "be the person you needed when you were younger" a little too seriously. I became a fierce advocate for body positivity, sex positivity, challenging societal norms & fostering a non-judgmental environment where clients feel accepted and understood.

 

I offer a unique blend of mental health counseling, holistic health practices, and spiritual exploration tailored to support individuals on their journey toward self-acceptance and empowerment. In our sessions, we'll explore a variety of therapeutic modalities, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), alongside holistic practices such as reiki, meditation, and breathwork. Through this integrative approach, we'll address not only the thoughts and emotions that shape your experience but also the somatic and spiritual aspects of your being.

 

My therapeutic approach is truly eclectic, reflecting the complexity of human experiences and the multifaceted nature of healing. Through somatic work and nervous system regulation techniques, I guide clients out of their heads and back into their bodies, helping them navigate the intricate connections between mind, body, and soul. You'll gain the tools and insights you need to navigate life's challenges whether you're ready to embark on a journey of self-discovery, improve your relationships, or simply learn to love yourself and your life more fully. I work with clients in processing, and challenging generational patterns and core beliefs, empowering clients to break free from cycles of dysfunction and create new, healthier narratives for themselves.

 

Together, we'll delve into core belief work, inner child healing, and nervous system regulation, fostering self-awareness and reflection to facilitate meaningful change in your life. With an open-minded, non-judgmental stance and a sprinkle of humor, I create a safe and supportive space where you can explore, grow, and embrace your authentic self.

 

In a world where vulnerability is often seen as weakness, I embrace it as a strength. Reminding you that healing is messy, nonlinear, and deeply personal, but with the right support and guidance, it's also incredibly empowering.
