Great to meet you!

I lean away from diagnosis and focus on individuals, preferring to allow whats happening for you to guide sessions, rather than finding what box you fit into. I am trained in several modalities and have specialized in working with trauma my whole career. I have a plant positive and holistic view of healing, preferring to guide you in discovering your own inner counsel, rather than seeing myself as an expert on you.

My approach to therapy

Working from a holistic model, I offer exploration of relationships-with food, medicines, and the earth, as well as within your community and family systems. I incorporate many different modalities; EMDR, IFS, CBT, DBT, as well as more non-traditional methods, such as meditation, movement, and spiritual exploration.

What you can expect from me

You can expect to co-create the container we work in. Goals are yours, not mine, so I offer you ways to explore what you want things to look like, and help you get there.
