Welcome — I’m so glad you’re here. I’m a therapist who works at the intersection of trauma, the nervous system, and whole-person healing. Whether you're navigating the effects of past experiences, coping with chronic illness, or feeling overwhelmed by the intensity of being a highly sensitive person, you don’t have to do it alone. My approach is grounded, compassionate, and deeply attuned to your body’s wisdom and your life’s complexity. With a background in both traditional talk therapy and expressive modalities like art therapy and mindfulness, I offer a space where healing is both creative and somatic. I help clients gently reconnect with their nervous systems, process trauma in safe and supported ways, and build tools for emotional regulation, physical resilience, and self-trust. My work often resonates with people who: - Feel stuck in patterns of anxiety, freeze, or overwhelm - Live with chronic illness, autoimmune conditions, or unexplained symptoms -Identify as highly sensitive, empathic, or emotionally intuitive -Are healing from developmental, relational, or complex trauma -Want a therapy experience that honors both science and soul -Desire to make healthy changes in life Together, we can explore how trauma lives in the body, how to soothe a hyperactive stress response, and how to reclaim joy, meaning, and connection in your daily life. I bring warmth, curiosity, and creativity to our work — and a belief in your capacity to heal at your own pace, in your own way. If this sounds like a path you’re ready to explore, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.

Do you feel like you "don't fit in?" Perhaps it feels awkward because you always feel at a loss for what to say, or maybe everyone else seems enamored by topics to discuss that you don't find interesting. Maybe you do great with most people but still have that one relative that triggers you into dysregulation every time you talk to them? Even the guru Ram Dass said, "If you think you're enlightened, go spend a week with your family." Families can be tough!! Maybe you aren't sure what you would say in therapy because you don't really have words for your experiences, or feel some shame about your circumstances. If this sounds like you, try not to be discouraged! Look at any map and note that there are often multiple roads leading to the same place. Just because you are not on "their" road does not necessarily mean you are on the "wrong" road. Albert Einstein said, "I have not failed. I have just found 10,000 ways that do not work. We could explore new ways that hopefully DO work better for you! I have thirty-five years experience using a very eclectic approach that draws from multiple modalities. I have a background in traditional psychotherapy, but prefer to come from a "whole person" strength-based approach rather than the traditional illness-based approach. I was an LPN years ago and have taken additional graduate level courses in natural and alternative healing as well as a health coaching course because I am passionate about the food/mood/lifestyle connection between physical and mental health and in natural health and healing. I work with adult clients and incorporate techniques such as use of visual imagery, music, art, guided meditations, movement, rituals, aromatherapy, spirituality, "energy," food, sleep, etc., alongside evidence-based practices like DBT, CBT, polyvagal theory, epigenetics, attachment theory, compassionate inquiry, motivational interviewing, a hybrid of a combination of IFS/Brainspotting/EMDR/FLASH incorporated into a strength-based perspective to provide a more holistic approach to healing mind/body/spirit. I frequently give good educational resource links to provide additional opportunities to follow up on issues brought into the sessions. This combination of techniques can help you access your creative expression and intuition to assist you in your ability to identify limiting beliefs and behaviors in your life and move toward your own natural ability to heal in a safe environment with a therapist that will honor your unique contribution to this life's journey. I am LGBTQIA2S+, neurodivergent, polyamory, KINK, and other expansive identity friendly, and can seek to connect people who have lost faith in church religion to consider and find their own unique sense of spirituality, however they might define that. I myself am a spiritual animist, a reiki master, lover of animals, plants, books, music, and gardening. I enjoy making my own personal care products using herbs and essential oils, and in tweaking delicious recipes into a "healthier" version of delicious. My soul is most at home in the mountains and around clear water. I am an INFJ/Guardian, genderfluid, pansexual, and choose not to embrace any particular pronouns. I continue to learn new things almost every day. Ram Dass also said, "We are all just walking each other home. " Kindness, compassion, and respect for one another can go such a long way. I have no desire to compete with you because I want you to win, too. I believe a win/win beats a win/lose every time! Thank you for looking at my information. If you think we might work well together, please get in touch. If you don't feel a connection to me, there are many other very qualified persons on this site. Don't give up!
