Therapy, for me, is not about fixing people—it’s about holding compassionate space for your stories, your wisdom, your pain, your grief and your healing in a world that often asks you to fragment who you are and to disconnect from what matters most. I strive to offer care that recognizes mental health as deeply interconnected with lived experience, community, systemic realities, and spirit.

You are the expert on your experience. I am here to walk alongside you—not to guide you away from yourself, but to support your return to what has always been true and whole within you.

When working with young children, I hold the same reverence for their unique voice, play, and way of knowing. I use developmentally attuned approaches that honor the whole child—emotionally, physically, and relationally.

Healing is not meant to be done alone. While therapy often centers on the individual, I believe true healing unfolds within relationships and the larger collective that holds you.  Together we explore how your well-being is shaped by the web of your relationships, roles, culture, and community.  I honor the cultural, ancestral, and spiritual traditions that have always understood healing as relational—rooted in connection to land, lineage, and each other.

In my work with young children, I place strong emphasis on supporting the caregiver-child relationship. I support caregivers in making meaning of their child’s behavior, deepening connection, and fostering emotional resilience. Therapy becomes a space for reclaiming dignity, belonging, and voice—for both adult and child.

Nature is not just a backdrop—it is a living, responsive presence that can be an essential part of healing. Connecting with nature can help regulate the nervous system, deepen curiosity, and provide a sense of rootedness and wonder.  Especially for children, nature can offer a developmentally appropriate path to healing.   By reconnecting to the natural world, we reconnect to cycles, rhythms, and wisdom that are often forgotten—but never lost.

When welcomed and appropriate, I integrate nature-based practices into our work. These may include:

• Outdoor walking sessions, where movement and the environment support reflection and grounding

• Sensory engagement with natural elements—like water, stones, leaves, or soil—to support regulation and embodied presence

• Rituals tied to seasonal shifts or life transitions, helping to honor change and continuity

• Mindfulness and resourcing practices that use natural elements—sky, trees, wind—as anchors for calming and connection

• Fostering relationships with the more-than-human world—plants, animals, weather, landscape—as sources of insight, comfort, and meaning

• Play and Movement-encourages spontaneity and freedom
