With a focus on humor, curiosity, and meeting people where they are, she integrates holistic practices into her therapeutic work.

Our Mission:

We exist to provide trauma-informed, integrative psychotherapy for individuals seeking something deeper than traditional talk therapy. We blend trauma-informed, evidence-based care with a deep respect for the whole person—supporting clients in reconnecting with themselves, their bodies, and their capacity for healing.

Our Vision:

To redefine what therapy can be—rooted in the wisdom of the body, expanded by emerging science, and grounded in deep human connection. We envision a world where healing isn’t just about symptom management, but about returning to wholeness.
