“The body, not the thinking brain, is where we experience most of our pain, pleasure, and joy, and where we process most of what happens to us. It is also where we do most of our healing, including our emotional and psychological healing. And it is where we experience resilience and a sense of flow.”
- Resmaa Menakem

HOLISTIC APPROACH
Our emotional struggles can leave their residue in the mind, body, and spirit, yet they don't have to be a life sentence. I believe that every human being has the innate capacity for healing and wholeness and can transform even the most difficult life experiences, patterns, and beliefs, into sources of embodied wisdom and empowerment.
​
My approach is integrative, culturally-sensitive, and grounded in evidence-based modalities. I collaborate with you to create an individualized treatment plan rooted in understanding how the human nervous system is wired. This valuable information helps us make sense of anxiety, trauma, substance use, depression and addictive behaviors. I integrate top-down (cognitive therapies) and bottom up (body-based therapies) approaches to address the whole person. Through science-based somatic and mindfulness practices, we’ll explore ways to cultivate safety and kindness, build resilience, and balance inner and outer stressors. Developing tools to overcome habitual fight, flight, and freeze reactions, we reclaim our power and reconnect with inner strength, peace, and aliveness.
My style is warm and authentic, and I strive to create an inclusive, affirmative space where your experience can be heard with acceptance and compassion. Identities of any race, ethnicity, sexuality, gender identity, ability, immigration status, or faith are welcome here.
