About

THERAPY

I believe we each hold an inner intelligence and the potential to heal. Sometimes we simply need a collaborator to (re)discover it. As a therapist — and a human — I view things systemically. No one person is an island unto themselves, and your background matters. We will consider the intersections of your experiences across societal, familial, cultural & political constructs — especially those under which you have been oppressed or marginalized.

YOGA & ENERGY WORK

My arrival “on the mat” began in 2008. Following years of self-practice, I earned both 200- & 300-hour certifications in the Vinyasa tradition. Witnessing how this practice and philosophy supported both myself & clients in wholehearted ways, I also completed a 300-hour program in Trauma-Sensitive Yoga. TSY methodology is focused on one’s internal, felt experience, developed to complement therapeutic treatment of complex trauma.

Body-first and Energy-based practices strengthen neurological awareness and the fundamental need for relational safety. As a support to talk therapy, I integrate such modalities and approaches (e.g. Brainspotting, Polyvagal theory, Reiki) that can access deeper parts of the brain and subtle body to enhance one’s healing.
