Who You’ll Find Here
If you’re looking for a compassionate, secure space where growth, healing, and deeper connection become possible, you’ll feel right at home. My practice offers a supportive experience that is attuned to you needs with the belief there is a wisdom in you. Drawing on a background in hands-on craftsmanship, the arts, and movement / mindfulness, an embodied body-mind-awareness approach that helps you further discover meaning, empowerment, and agency in your life. Whether you’re seeking to strengthen your relationship with yourself, your loved ones, or the wider world, the environment is designed to support your personal evolution.
How We Work Together
Our work together would be built on trauma-informed, feminist, and anti-racist foundations, creating a safe, curious, and playful atmosphere. Sessions can weave what your needed, and can include embodied mindfulness—bringing attention to body, mind, and awareness—into creative storytelling, somatic techniques, sand-tray work, role-play, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and EMDR. Whether you come alone, with a partner, family members, or a chosen-family group, I act as an ally, helping you clarify goals, tap into your strengths, and co-create pathways toward relational growth and personal resilience. The approach flexibly adapts to your cultural, philosophical, and spiritual framework, ensuring therapy aligns with what matters most to you.
What You Can Expect
You’ll receive integrated, evidence-based care that honors both individual and relational needs. Core specialties include grief, ADHD, trauma (EMDR), IFS, somatic regulation, mindfulness-embodiment, spirituality, nature-based work, and support of an enriching life. All relationship configurations are welcomed—adolescents, caregivers, blended families, LGBTQ+ families, friends, romantic partners, and polyamorous groups—and diverse racial, ethnic, and spiritual identities are celebrated. Sessions are offered in-person three days a week (Tuesday-Thursday) at a D.T. SW Portland office, with teletherapy if need be, available on those same days.
