“Whoever you are, no matter how lonely, the world offers itself to your imagination, calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting—over and over announcing your place in the family of things.”
I am a nature and animal lover at heart and believe in the interconnectedness we share with all living beings. I am passionate about helping people have integrous, authentic relationships with self and others. I believe that humans have an inherent drive toward health, but sometimes get stuck due to attachment wounds, trauma, and/or stressors from our modern world. My own healing journey has been rooted in community, my body’s wisdom, connection to the natural world, and I’d like to share that with you.
My therapeutic approach is holistic and integrative within the framework of Gestalt therapy, Polyvagal theory (autonomic nervous system regulation), Transpersonal psychology, mindfulness, and somatic practices.
My work is primarily experiential, relational, and somatic with aspects of talk therapy.
