I also utilize Holistic Psychotherapy and Transpersonal therapy techniques when appropriate such as mindfulness, meditations, guided imagery, sound healing, creative arts and breathing techniques as a Somatic Embodiment certified therapist. I am adept and equipped to explore trauma, and inner child work with my clients.

I am a trauma informed, LGBTQ+ and gender affirming practitioner. I identify as a Cisgender Biracial Woman and BIPOC practitioner. I support body, sex and kink positivity. I do not practice religious based counseling, however I do respect all religions and spiritual beliefs in my work with my clients because it can be powerful to utilize spirituality practices in finding meaning, purpose, connection and healing. 

I do utilize and support any spiritual practices being present in sessions for meaning making including tarot, human design, astrology, and exploration of dream interpretation. I am a strong believer and advocate for all human rights, women’s rights, liberation and justice. My office is a safe space for all. I honor your life and needs. I believe that you are the expert in your own experience and I’m here to validate and empower you. 

I do honor and give reverence to Mother Earth and the Monacan Land I practice on.
