A cornerstone of my approach to therapeutic work is the power of relational healing. By being in healthy, authentic connection and communication with others we can discover more about ourselves and heal wounds of disconnection. Disconnection from our true selves, emotions, bodies, desires and needs, as well as, difficulty connecting in a fulfilling way with others, is a common aspect in trauma and mental illness. We all hold within us the capacity to heal. Supported self-exploration can lead us to greater self knowledge and empowerment, that when paired with therapeutic tools and strategies can open the door to healing.
I have experience supporting folx struggling with depression, anxiety, PTSD, existential crises, end of life issues, grief/loss, ADHD relationship concerns, communication struggles, attachment wounds and more.
I’m centered in Existential/Humanistic psychotherapy with experience in Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Harm Reduction, Mindfulness, Narrative Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Trauma Informed Care, Psychedelic Integration Therapy, Grief Work, Emotionally Focused Therapy and Psychodynamic.
In order to support body, mind and soul healing I incorporate somatic, art/creative, meditation/visualization and spiritual interventions as indicated by those I’m serving.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
