Does your sensitivity sometimes feel like a burden instead of a gift? Have you felt disconnected from your body, your creativity, or your sense of belonging?
What if you could wake up feeling more rooted—trusting your rhythms, your emotions, and your place in the world?
Therapy with me:
You don’t need to fix yourself to deserve peace. In our work together, you’ll be invited to slow down, listen deeply, and remember that your body carries both your history and your healing. Therapy becomes a space where your sensitivity is a strength, your story is sacred, and your pace is honored. Together, we’ll explore what helps you feel grounded, expressive, and connected – to yourself, to others, to the living world around you; and deepen awareness of the ways that cycles of the natural world may mirror your internal processes.
You can expect a spacious, collaborative, and creative process that honors your inner wisdom. Whether we’re working with trauma, identity, neurodivergence, or the weight of old survival stories, I’ll meet you with curiosity, humor, and reverence for your unfolding. I hope that you leave each session a little more in rhythm with yourself – more resourced, more free, and more accepting of the roles that rest, growth, expression, and release have in the healing process.
The majority of my clients identify as LGBTQIA+, BIPOC and people of the global majority, and they are often neurodivergent, creatives, trauma survivors, and may be living with chronic illness or sacred sensitivity. Many are seeking support with navigating identity, creative calling, or belonging. My group offerings blend somatic regulation, storytelling, expressive arts, spiritual exploration, and community care. I’m personally connected to the experiences of being queer, nonbinary, Black, and neurodivergent, which shape my work and the kind of spaces I strive to create.

Professional background
I graduated from Portland State University and hold a Master’s in Social Work. Over the past several years, I have been weaving together land-rooted healing, food justice, and trauma-informed ancestral and somatic care, supporting neurodivergent creators, gender-expansive communities, and people of the global majority. My work is guided by the belief that when we tend to the self, we also tend to the land and the collective. I bring deep attunement and reverence to those ready to be seen, honored, and empowered.
Who I am in the wild…
Outside of work, I’m grounded by nature, ritual, and creativity. I love tending to my plants, crafting, jewelry making, creating altars, and building book nooks or floral/natural arrangements that mirror the cycles of the seasons. I share my life with my partner and my dog, and I value slowness, nourishment, and moments of awe. My rest and art practices are how I stay connected to the earth and to joy.
