My approach to counseling builds on existing strengths and situates you, the client, as the expert on your own life. I believe that relationships with self, others, and our broader communities are foundational to wellbeing, and encourage exploration of these areas through a trauma-informed, culturally attuned lens. I take a compassionate approach to existing dynamics and coping methods and work alongside you to bring patterns and the emotions that underlie them into conscious awareness. I am affirming of all people, including multicultural, neuroexpansive, LGBTQ+, and polyamorous people and relationships. I am a student of Somatic Experiencing, a body-oriented method for healing trauma and stress. The natural world has been instrumental in my personal healing and growth process, and I bring elements of ecotherapy and nature into my practice. I also help clients prepare for and integrate plant medicine/psychedelic experiences.
