​

After receiving my BA in Psychology, I completed my 200 hour yoga certification and worked as a Psychiatric Rehabilitation Counselor for five years. Throughout this portion of my journey, I was particularly drawn towards exploring holistic approaches where emotional processing could include the physical, energetic, and spiritual aspects of our being. I became passionate about the therapeutic model, Internal Family Systems (Parts Work), which involves befriending and unburdening our wounded inner parts led by a core Self. This led me into somatic exploration, where I learned how to converse with my inner-world through the realm of sensation. At that point, I could actually begin unwinding the trauma / tension stuck in my body and bring more of my authentic gifts online. 

I then went on to train in Gentle Transformative Touch through the Somatic Therapy Center as well as in Somatic Work for Trauma Resolution and Embodiment of Spirit through Alchemical Alignment. Essentially, these modalities bring forward the opportunity for us to co-create conditions for nervous system healing and mind-body-heart-spirit integration. I offer a grounded space for people to comfortably meet themselves on their own terms, in their own pacing, without overriding their security system. In a world where so much can get forced upon us and shut down inside of us, it is radical to slow down and have freedom of choice. By slowing awareness down enough, we get to listen for the deeper wisdom inside of us and access the unconditional support in that which is larger than us. 

As I continue deepening into personal, ancestral, and collective healing through subtle perception and vitalistic approaches, I will be intuitively weaving in the skills and practices that are optimal for what is arising in each session. All in all, I am devoted to fostering a world where we are living in sacred reciprocity with each other and the Earth. I believe it starts with learning how to fully meet our existence in the body we have over and over again. If any or all of this speaks to you, I’d love to share a call to explore how we might work together.
