now accepting Lpc-associates! Book a discovery call

I’ve been told by former clients that I’m like the spunky Blue Caterpillar (fun fact: I'm obsessed with Alice in Wonderland) –direct, curious, and always asking the right questions. While we may not end up in Wonderland...we’ll definitely venture down the rabbit hole together. I’m here to hold space, where you can feel fully accepted and supported as we walk your unique path of self-discovery.

I consider myself just the right balance of “woo woo” and realism. I bring warmth, humor, and a no-BS approach to my work. With over 10 years of experience providing counseling services and 4 years of teaching in higher education, I am passionate about shaping the next generation of therapists on how to become holistic healers. Every person is worthy and deserving of reaching their fullest potential —including you.

At the heart of my practice is the belief that healing is not a linear process—but a sacred, self-directed journey toward wholeness, agency, and connection. I approach psychotherapy, supervision, and teaching through a feminist and holistic lens, honoring each person’s lived experience, body wisdom, and inner voice.

Real healing happens in spaces shaped by practices that invite embodied awareness, empowerment, and systemic understanding. I believe healing must be culturally responsive, socially conscious, and inclusive of the whole self—body, mind, and spirit. This means acknowledging the ways oppression, trauma, and disconnection have impacted us as a collective, while also holding space for joy, resilience, and reclamation. I integrate holistic modalities such as Reiki, Tarot, and somatic awareness alongside other clinical approaches to support your unique & authentic development. Whether we’re exploring stuck points in your clinical work, unpacking the impact of societal messages, or navigating inherited narratives that show up in the therapy room, I hold space with curiosity, care, and a deep trust in your inner wisdom as a healer.

psychotherapy

I create a safe container so we can explore your life experiences and uncover pieces of yourself that have yet to be revealed. Let’s bring love to the part of you that’s fearful and has lost hope or faith. Together, we'll dig into the root of your internal blocks so you can start feeling your feelings.

supervision

I offer clinical supervision that goes beyond checking boxes — it’s a collaborative, empowering space where you can show up fully as both a person and a professional. Rooted in holistic and feminist frameworks, I support you in building confidence, clinical insight, and a deeply authentic counseling style.
