I am a relational somatic therapist working from an existential-humanistic lens, integrating attachment theory, nervous system regulation, mindfulness, and narrative therapy. My work is grounded in the understanding that healing happens through the body, relationships, and meaning-making, not just through insight alone.
I also draw from my training in art therapy and yoga to incorporate creativity, breath, and embodied awareness into the therapeutic process. These approaches can support deeper self-understanding, emotional processing, and new pathways for healing and connection.
I believe healing is a fundamental human capacity, shaped not only by our individual experiences but also by relational and systemic contexts that can disrupt our sense of connection, identity, and purpose. In our work together, we gently explore how past and present experiences are held in the body and how they influence your current patterns, relationships, and sense of self.
Before becoming a therapist, I spent nearly two decades in the creative corporate world, including six years at adidas. This experience informs my understanding of burnout, high-performance environments, identity strain, workplace dynamics, and career transitions. I especially support clients navigating similar systems and pressures.
I hold an MA in Art Therapy from Lewis & Clark Graduate School of Education and Counseling, an MFA in Applied Craft and Design, and I am a 200-hour certified yoga instructor. I am a Registered Professional Counselor Associate in Oregon, supervised by Justin Rock, MA, LPC.
My clinical focus includes trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, burnout, identity exploration, neurodivergence, 2SLGBTQIA+ experiences, family dynamics, toxic work environments, and career transitions.
