Great to meet you!

I have journeyed with some of the most resilient people: Holocaust survivors, single-moms working two jobs, individuals grappling with terminal illness. They have been my best teachers! Working through difficult seasons and experiences is part of our work as humans. Meaning making and finding purpose in spite of these hardships is the work of my heart.

My approach to therapy

The therapeutic modalities I employ place you and your spirit at the center. My experience tells me that self-knowledge sustains us in both demanding and undemanding seasons. I am a student of Somatics, Internal Family Systems, Enneagram & Ayerveda - modalities that support curiosity of self. These have been powerful tools for me on my self-discovery journey.

What you can expect from me

When we tune in, we show up as a more full and whole version of ourselves - in both the joyous and difficult seasons of life. And sometimes, in order to move forwards, we have to look backwards first. I welcome ALL of you to our co-creative work - your rough edges and smooth surfaces; your full expression of self!
