Welcome!

 Here I give you a space to get real, for you to regroup, notice and explore your patterns and needs, and increase self-compassion. I create a safe space to help you process traumatic experiences or daily stressors at your own pace while respecting and increasing your tolerance. I help you reconnect to your nervous system and your strengths, develop tools and deal with whatever may be overwhelming you and pulling you back. 

In my philosophy, I believe in collaborative work, you are the expert in yourself and your experiences, and like any human, you have the resilience to feel better.

I look forward to creating a safe space for you to explore yourself and your deepest thoughts, feelings, longings, and wishes.

Our Process

​​​​

 Our process together will be organic, you will get comfy, and we will check in, and I'll create a safe space for you to explore yourself and your deepest thoughts, feelings, longings, goals, and wishes. I teach you calming tools for a deeper sense of grounding and empower you to move past the effects of trauma, religious trauma, and other overwhelming struggles. If you've had a recent traumatic experience or have had trauma that wasn't resolved by talk therapy, I may implement a deeper therapeutic intervention called brainspotting, which will help you process, release trauma and anxiety, emotional distress, and somatic pain stored in the deep brain.

​

 I believe that understanding and being able to soothe our bodies helps us move through traumatic experiences, reduces anxiety and depression, and improves self-understanding. I have also been multiculturally trained to explore how your intersectionality (age, gender, identity, race, ethnicity, ability, etc.) may play a part in your struggles and the stress you may experience.

This only scratches the surface of what our work will look like in practice.
