Pursuing your Wholeness
I work from the lens of wellness for the whole person, incorporating mindfulness, and physical, mental, and emotional well-being, through the context of relationship. I believe growth and healing come from power held in the individual I am working with, and I aim to empower each person to access this from within themselves.

My ultimate goal is to provide safe space for my client to feel seen, and heard, in order to encourage and promote one’s journey towards healing. I utilize a holistic, healing-centered counseling approach, focusing on promoting emotional and psychological healing through a person-centered, trauma-informed, somatic lens.
I work with each individual based on their specific needs. This may look like utilizing mindfulness therapy to reengage with your body, to find grounding or access stored trauma. It often includes in depth processing of your experiences to work towards integrating your physical experience with your thoughts and emotions. Doing so can help you to better understand yourself, and learn to effectively communicate your thoughts, needs, and feelings to those you are in relationship with.
Some sessions may look very practical and task-oriented, others may be more focused on processing and experiencing emotions. Sometimes you may just need someone to sit with you in the midst of difficulty. Seeking help and support is counter cultural and courageous, you are choosing to care for yourself in a powerful way. You are capable and worthy of growth and healing, and I am here to encourage and empower your pursuit. I look forward to meeting you.
