My path toward this work has been shaped by a deep interest in healing, embodiment, community care, and the relationship between personal suffering and the broader systems we live within.

Early experiences in nature, community organizing, education, and contemplative practice led me toward understanding healing not only as an individual process, but as something deeply relational and collective.

Before becoming a social worker and somatic therapist, I worked in environmental advocacy, early childhood education, movement and embodiment practices, and community-based wellness spaces. These experiences continue to inform how I understand nervous systems, resilience, grief, belonging, and the impact of culture and systems on our inner lives.

For over a decade, I have studied and practiced embodiment-based approaches including yoga, mindfulness, somatic awareness, body-based healing practices, and relational care. I have taught in private, group, retreat, and training settings and continue to approach this work as both a personal practice and professional commitment.

My therapeutic approach is grounded in somatic psychotherapy, mindfulness, trauma-informed care, and social work values that honor the importance of context, relationship, and lived experience. I am particularly interested in helping people reconnect with themselves in ways that move beyond isolation, hyper-independence, shame, chronic self-criticism, and survival-based ways of living.

I believe healing often involves learning how to safely experience emotion, build steadiness within the nervous system, increase self-awareness, strengthen relationships, and cultivate greater capacity for compassion, accountability, grief, pleasure, and connection. This work can be challenging and deeply transformative, and I approach it with care, humility, and respect for each person’s unique path.

More recently, my experiences with partnership and motherhood have deepened my understanding of transition, identity, vulnerability, care work, and the profound transformations that occur throughout different stages of life.

I continue to support my own growth and accountability through therapy, community, supervision, embodiment practices, and ongoing learning. I do not view healing as a destination or fixed state, but as an ongoing relationship with ourselves, one another, and the world around us.

My hope is to offer a grounded, compassionate space where you can explore your inner world with greater curiosity, honesty, and care — and where healing can unfold in ways that feel meaningful, embodied, and sustainable.
