Our work together is about meeting yourself in your most tender moments, trusting your process, becoming who you truly are and healing from within.
I give myself full permission to love people in an all encompassing, limitless way and endeavor to help others internalize that same freedom. We are alive to expand, see, heal & touch one another deeply. I cherish the quaking, raw beauty of being a creature in process alongside another and finding the awe, terror, dignity, humor, complexity and mundanity in the adventure. I’m into all of it, the whole damn spectrum. I explore consciousness like it’s a playground. I commit to walking into the darkness with you and revelling in the radiance cloaked behind the shadow. I delight in building trust, safety and play in all places. I wholeheartedly believe all of you sacred. All of you is welcome.
Each session is a homecoming.
I have a lifetime commitment to examining and interrogating social norms and beliefs about gender, race, sexual orientation, mental health, ability, intuition, ecology and relationship.
As a light-skinned, mixed-raced woman of color, I am sort of an “in-between” person living on the borderline of racial and ethnic ambiguity. I don’t sit on either side of the fence but on the fence itself which gives me a unique perspective, with both the advantages and disadvantages that entails. My combination of life experience as a survivor of childhood abuse, domestic violence, intimate partner violence, adolescent mental health oppression, a lifetime of grappling with belonging, and the complexity of holding both oppressed and oppressor identities deeply informs my liberation work with people across many different intersections of identity. This has gifted me the ability to daily deconstruct and re-draw the boundaries of what is welcome and just in our hearts, community and culture. I’m so down to help you do the same.
Together, we work to create a space of belonging with your dignity, safety and mattering at the center.
For over 10+ years I’ve had a private practice as a trauma-focused healer, somatic therapist, and counselor. I work as a community organizer, gender justice advocate, social justice activist, lead a climate action community education team, and am a former yoga teacher and violence prevention workshop facilitator within the criminal justice system. I have a passion for sharing conscious movement, nonviolent communication, and body-based mindfulness practices with oppressed and repressed communities including communities of color/culture, LGBTQIA+ youth, incarcerated populations and trauma-impacted people.
I deeply believe that we can only heal what we can hold and I aim to move at the speed of trust.
It is my deepest desire to work with you to co-create the kind of support that is most resonant with your unique body, mind and heart.




My approach to healing and wellness is non-diagnostic and NEVER based on pathology.
You are not the things you struggle with. As a fierce advocate for those who suffer from injustice, abuse and oppression, I actively participate in fostering community based on the principles of restorative justice. I trust in the beauty and power of the human heart to help overcome the obstacles of our conditioning. You are wise beyond measure and your body holds the keys to your own liberation. When you feel yourself as magical, strong, connected, purposeful and alive you will naturally relate with the world in more empowered, courageous, engaged ways. Through positive, collaborative, mutual relationships, we can all get more free.


You already possess an innate ability to heal and powerful inner wisdom.
Through dedicated partnership you will come to know your body as your most potent ally.
Combining elements of shamanism and contemporary psychology with the ancient science of yoga and meditation, we will explore and expand your relationship with your body mind and spirit. I utilize an integrative fusion of counseling, embodied movement, intuition, reiki, and touch to assist you in finding relief from overwhelm, emotional dysregulation, fear, “stuckness” and hurt. I encourage you to entirely and enthusiastically receive yourself. Hand-in-hand, we creatively engage all parts of your being to grow greater self-understanding, acceptance and self-actualization. My work on the planet is in service to creating a fuller expression of love, inner-alignment and wonder within me and within you…
Collaboratively, we create a refuge so you can enter into your inner realm of consciousness and the felt-sense of your body to study whatever is there. I partner with you as loving ally, spiritual trickster, cheerleader, energy healer, and compassionate witness to your experience. Wherever each session takes you, I will be right there with you, offering wise counsel, direct intervention, supportive contact, and unconditional positive regard. I share profound presence free from judgment as you unlock your own guiding wisdom.
I can hear the silent longing of other people’s hearts. I give voice to that longing.
I am on fire to help you be more unapologetically YOU more and more of the time. Quirky, real, authentic, unique, reserved: I will wildly cheer you on (and stretch your canvas) as you take greater risks and unearth the courage to paint with All. Your. Colors. I make it my business to help you get excited about your gifts and empowered to share them. I bring a whole lot of care, celebration, tenderness, a fair bit passion and just the right balance of fierceness to skillfully kick you off the cliff so you can find yourself flying.
Simply put, I love the fuck out of my clients.
