Honest, easy, safe to talk to. A respectful balance of warmth, gentle challenging, & humor. "Annoyingly hopeful & also realistic when it's tough."

I value education & neuroscience-backed methods to support an attachment-based, existential & somatic approach. My training includes Brainspotting. Ultimately, authenticity & our relationship is key, with laughter & some swear words to boot.

Explore what feels painful or unbearable & discover what it wants to tell you & what it needs. We may not figure out all the 'whys,' but you certainly won't be alone when asking them what is needed to feel more whole, empowered, heard, & brave.

Feel 'stuck' in painful past experiences in childhood & adulthood, sadness, worry, thoughts about dying or loss, feel unsafe in their body, are fearful of yet need meaningful connection. You might say I specialize in "the dark night of the soul."

I had horrific, damaging experiences with therapists growing up and vowed to offer to others what I needed. This work also aligns with my values best.

The relationship we develop is what seems to be most beneficial to my clients; "people don't care what you know until they know that you care."

I'm unconventional in many ways with multiple, unique life experiences that serve my abilities in open-mindedness, curiosity, compassion, and a deep, broadening understanding of existential pain. Even then, you're the expert; I'm here to learn!
