i am passionate
for embodiment.
for living life fully & wholly
within the wisdom of the body.
my wish for you is that you learn how to find pleasure in your spirit's growing pains,
that you become humbled by the human body's resilient capacity to heal,
that you learn to know yourself intimately, act fully, make friends with messiness,
be radically raw, flawed, vulnerable, imperfect and live in the wisdom of your body.
i work one-on-one to help harmonize the divide between body, mind, and heart by utilizing my training in depth psychology, relational somatics, intersectional feminism, and interpersonal neurobiology. my professional education and experience informs how i walk alongside you, as your psychotherapist or mentor, in your process of restoring a relationship with your body.
a time for you to be heard and acknowledged.
a time for you to focus on you and only you.
