How I Work

Somatic

I am a somatic ("whole-being") practitioner, experientially engaging with clients' body sensations, memories, thoughts, and emotions. Somatic therapy allows people to transform trauma and old patterns into lasting change.

Relational

I root in authentic connection: exploring patterns of attachment and relationships by being with what comes up in the moment. Realness, love, creativity, and a sense of humor are essential to my therapy style.

Liberation-Oriented

I work with clients to unlearn stories of worthlessness inherited from our dominant culture. I support people, humbly and without judgment, in reclaiming their own wholeness--and in feeling the connections between their struggles and the struggles of other earthly beings.
