the wound is the medicine

With a largely existential focus, incorporating depth work, attachment work, and somatic work, I take an integrative and holistic approach, believing that true healing occurs when clients are able to confront the core issues that are holding them back,

By exploring each client’s unique intersections and circumstances, and delving into the underlying emotions and beliefs that drive our behavior, I help clients gain a deeper understanding of themselves and their place in the world.

My approach is relational and grounded in the belief that, despite our unique circumstances, we all have the power of choice. By recognizing our inherent freedom, we can create more meaningful and fulfilling lives.

Whether you're processing trauma, struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or a sense of purposelessness, I will work collaboratively with you to identify your unique strengths and values, and develop strategies to better live in authentic alignment.

I will do all I can to provide you with a warm, safe, and supportive space where we can explore the complexities of your inner world without judgement. By working together, I will help you to get in touch with your own intuition, discover your own agency, and to create the life that you truly want to live.
