about me
I have lived my whole life as a highly sensitive person. My younger years were filled with being overpathologized and overmedicated by the medical community. Being extremely sensitive felt like a liability until I began my healing journey.
I dove headfirst into my trauma recovery journey when I started studying bodywork and energitcs in 2008. Over the last twenty years I have become fascinated with psychology, spirituality, holistic medicine, and a vast array of therapeutic modalities. After a long journey with self discovery and professional development, I was diagnosed with autism in adulthood.
The gifts of trauma therapy, mindfulness, and nervous system regulation changed my life in every way for the better, and it is my joy to offer counseling and somatic therapy to other seekers, sensitive souls, and star seeds.
I am a mother, a song writer, and a cat lover. (meet my cat below!)
about my practice
My approach to psychotherapy is simple: there is a reason for your distress. Pain, whether physical or mental, is a message. Together we can decode these messages to find the root cause.
My blend of therapy includes a range of modalities helpful for highly sensitive people. I use this as an umbrella term to encompass HSPs, those with autism or adhd, those with complex trauma, and any combination of these things.
These methods blend together to help all neurotypes feel at home in their bodies, increase capacity for distress tolerance and bring more peace into your daily life.
It can be challenging to find your own way in a world that celebrates conformity. My goal is to help you deconstruct any conditioning that has you questioning your value. You deserve to celebrate your unique authentic self!
