I believe healing begins when we feel safe enough to reconnect with the parts of ourselves that have been ignored, protected, or misunderstood.

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor and founder of Wild & Woven Therapy, where I help individuals and relationships cultivate deeper connection—with themselves, their bodies, their loved ones, and the lives they want to create.

My practice is especially supportive for highly sensitive people (HSPs), LGBTQ+ clients, BIPOC clients, creatives, helpers, and those exploring identity, relationships, intimacy, sexuality, spirituality, or life transitions. I work with concerns including anxiety, trauma, grief, depression, burnout, self-esteem, relationship challenges, sex and intimacy, and personal growth. My practice is sex-positive, kink-affirming, LGBTQ+ affirming, and grounded in social justice.

I believe you already possess the capacity to heal. My role isn't to fix you—it's to help you reconnect with your inner wisdom and authentic self so you can move through life with greater compassion, resilience, and freedom. Whether you're navigating a difficult season or longing to feel more at home within yourself, I'll meet you with warmth, curiosity, and genuine care.

To me, therapy is a collaborative relationship built on trust, curiosity, and compassion. I strive to create a space where you can slow down, feel deeply seen, and explore every part of yourself without judgment.

My work integrates somatic therapy, mindfulness, attachment theory, parts work (IFS-informed), self-compassion, and trauma-informed care. Together, we'll explore not only what's happening in your mind, but also the wisdom of your body, your relationships, and the patterns that have helped you survive. Rather than asking, "What's wrong with you?" we'll ask, "What happened to you?" and "What does this part of you need?"

For clients who are spiritually curious, I'm also happy to incorporate transpersonal and mindfulness-based perspectives into our work. I don't believe there's one right way to heal—only the path that feels authentic to you. My hope is that therapy becomes a place where you can feel more grounded, connected, and empowered to live in alignment with who you truly are.

Starting therapy can feel vulnerable, and you don't have to have everything figured out before you walk through the door.

Our first session is simply a chance to get to know one another. We'll talk about what's bringing you in, what you're hoping for, and the experiences that have shaped you. I'll ask questions to better understand your relationships, strengths, challenges, and goals, while making space for anything that feels most important to you.

Most importantly, the first session is about building a relationship. I want you to leave with a sense of whether you feel comfortable, understood, and supported. Healing begins with feeling safe enough to show up as your whole self, and my hope is that you'll leave feeling a little more grounded, a little more hopeful, and a little less alone.
