If you’re a goal chaser with a practical side and a woo-woo streak, I’m the holistic therapist for you.
After years of self-healing, education, and supporting diverse clients, I know this for sure:
To finally create a life that feels calm, fulfilling, and aligned with the whole you, you need to heal
every part of you.
I started this holistic practice to create the therapy experience that I wish I’d had – one that balances practical science-backed methods and time-tested spiritual practices. By treating both sides of your true nature, my mission is to ignite your inner power and guide you to a life of more resilience, ease, joy, and flow.
As a high school student quietly battling depression, I chased achievement for those quick hits of pride and joy. But I kept needing more, so I kept doing more, even when I felt burnout coming on.
Because I didn’t know what else I could possibly do.
I thought I – with my challenging feelings and complicated internal world – was the problem.
It wasn’t until I met my first therapist that I realized talking about my emotions wasn’t just ok, it was the first step to creating the peaceful, joy-filled life I’d been dreaming of.
From that moment on, I knew exactly what I wanted to do with my life.
My approach isn’t traditional; I know that each individual needs tools and interventions tailored to their unique experiences. Furthermore, I understand that a sense of well-being goes far beyond the thoughts and emotions we struggle with. I believe in treating the whole person; mind, body, and spirit. I blend evidenced-based western approaches to psychology, including Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, with eastern wellness practices such as breath work, energy work, and yoga.
I’m a wholehearted, empathetic therapist, but I’m not afraid to challenge my clients when needed. My goal is to help you feel as if you’re meeting up with a close friend or kindred spirit for coffee; To feel open and uninhibited.
I believe in the healing powers of knowledge, & will often share bits of neuroscience & research in our sessions to help you understand why the skills and resources I provide are beneficial.
It brings me joy to work with individuals from various backgrounds and orientations. I work hard to get to know all of the intimate details that make you a wondrously unique individual, so that you may feel seen, heard, and understood. More importantly, so that we may work together in creating your vision for your highest self.
Being a therapist is a privilege that I hold in high regard. Clients share their innermost thoughts with me, allow me to provide them with insight or knowledge, and trust in my guidance. I’m honored to hold this incredible responsibility.
I strive to be fully present in each of my sessions; to listen with intention; to accept each individual exactly as they are, while also nurturing growth; and to ensure that my clients feel seen, understood, and inspired.
I may have experience in the areas that we explore in treatment, but I am by no means an expert at your life. Your thoughts, opinions, and preferences are crucial for successful outcomes. By providing me with feedback, I can personalize my approach to your individual needs.
