About
What made me want to become a therapist?
Growing up, I imagined helping the world by working in politics or human rights work. I quickly discovered it was not the outer world I wanted to focus on, but the inner-world.
Reading Thich Nhat Hahn's Peace is Every Step for a class in college, I discovered my passion for mental health and decided I would work to find peace within myself and help others do the same.
Why am I passionate about Somatic Therapy?
Connecting with my body has always been a powerful path to healing for me. During periods of anxiety in my own life, returning to my body is what helped me come home to myself again.
​
This is why I’m so passionate about somatic therapy. I love supporting people in this gentle, creative and incredibly deep approach to therapy.
What's my favorite part about being a therapist?
My favorite thing about being a therapist are the deep, soulful connections with my clients. I love who I get to work with. Witnessing someone's change process is deeply moving and inspiring.
I learn so much from the people that come to my office!
