Hi there. I’m glad you’re looking into getting support. I specialize in somatic, creatively-focused, and inner child work psychotherapy. With me as your therapist, we will ground and regulate the body, as we invite different parts of you to be heard and to integrate. I utilize somatic touch work to help my clients move through stuckness and into healing.
As many people are especially overwhelmed right now, trauma-informed techniques are even more important. I am holistic and integrative, which means that I believe there is potential for healing in each one of us. I am here to facilitate what the body knows how to do best, which is to heal.
I enjoy working with clients of all ages, ethnicities, abilities, gender identities, sexualities, and other intersectional identities. I meet with clients via Telehealth, In-Office in Pleasant Hill, and for Outdoor Therapy sessions. Please feel free to read more about what our work together will entail, and contact me to book a consultation. I look forward to meeting you.

Focusing on Somatic, Inner Child, and Creative Arts Therapy
I specialize in trauma-informed therapy for anxiety, depression, PTSD, developmental and shock traumas, and more. I understand that sometimes psychotherapy is sought out in a very challenging time of life, and I am here to offer support through that.
We have many aspects or identities within us, that all want to be seen and heard. Together, we will hold a space where these inner parts can speak and share their experiences and needs. With this newfound deeper relationship with the many parts of the self, the embodiment of authentic needs and desires in life comes naturally.
I support my clients to access and process their emotions through the incorporation of creative arts therapy. This looks like including music, drama, poetry, movement, writing, art-making, and more into the therapy space. As an artist myself, I am aware of how creative expression can be such a powerful medium for healing and integration.
