she/they

I am a trauma therapist that pulls from eastern and western modalities to offer holistic therapeutic services.

Believing that trauma memory is stored beyond the mind and deep into the body, I weave cognitive, somatic and nature-based approaches for highly effective treatment. Furthermore, it is vital to understand how systemic, cultural and individual circumstances influence the mind-body connection. To better grasp what is bringing you into session, my anti-oppressive perspective is influenced by systems, and feminist theory.

You are the expert of your experiences, your goals and your healing—I am here to assist you on your journey. The relationship between client and therapist is sacred and I hope to co-create a space with you that fosters safety, vulnerability, softness, compassion and accountability.

I work with a diverse range of issues from ADHD, anxiety, attachment issues, BPD, childhood/familial trauma, CPTSD, gender affirming care, LGBTQ+ issues, non-monogamy, relocation, sexual abuse, somatic presentations of trauma/distress, survivors of torture, spiritual and/or intuition development.

The power to heal lies within us, and I hope to cultivate a safe place for you to process and engage with whatever arises.

I offer psychotherapy sessions in the states of Kentucky and Virginia, USA.

Coaching and reiki services offered anywhere.
