I consider myself to be a transpersonal, somatic therapist.

This means I enjoy bringing the physical and spiritual dimensions into the treatment room in addition to our thoughts and feelings.

This holistic approach helps us to access our inner wisdom and learn to trust ourselves.  I am also an EMDR trained therapist  and this modality can help re-organize traumatic events by accessing our innate healing capacity. 

 I also enjoy providing psychedelic-assisted therapy through our KAP program. Psychedelics create a state change, and when combined with therapy, that state can become a trait change over time.  Our collective consciousness needs to elevate the level of healing to surpass the collective trauma. I believe as we each do this work for ourselves, that expands and impacts those around us positively. 

 I support clients in bearing gifts out of trauma, creating empowering narratives, focusing on their strengths and resilience, and having healthy relationships. 

In my other work life, I have been a professional bodyworker for over 25 years and an Open Floor movement teacher (www.openfloor.org). These body and movement based practices help to bring compassionate awareness to unhealthy and unworkable patterns. I also utilize parts work, based on Internal Family Systems (https://ifs-institute.com/) to support integration of the un- wanted and un-welcome aspects of ourselves. 

I acknowledge that we live inside of oppressive systems of power that perpetuate negative and limiting ways of being that are harmful to ourselves and others. I offer a trauma-informed and non-judgmental space for people of all genders, races, ethnicities, and religious/spiritual affiliations to be honored and uplifted.

I look forward to working with you!
