It is a beautiful and courageous step to seek healing.

This journey takes time and I believe healing is found in the comfort of a safe presence. My hope is to cultivate a nonjudgmental space for individuals to feel seen and supported in the joys and sorrows life holds.

As a therapist I implement this through collaborative connection as we get to know each other and work toward your desired goals to foster healing and hope together. I enjoy incorporating embodied practices, poetry, and music in the therapeutic process.

In my daily life I enjoy yoga, baking, biking, and music.
