Therapist, she/her

Let’s build something different.

I don’t have to tell you that the game is rigged.

Look like this, don’t act like that, work harder than everyone else and you will find happiness. Ha!
They are happy when we conform, but we are miserable.
And worst of all, we lose sight of who we really are and what we are here to do.

But this is a message of hope. Not despair.

You don’t have to play the game.

We know it is based on colonization, capitalism, and inequality of all kinds, anyway.

We are ushering in a more harmonious future of justice, love, equality and acceptance.


But it has to start with you, boo.
Self-acceptance. Self-love. Self-trust.


Let me Help

My clients are intuitive, intelligent and good with people. They are passionate about supporting individuals who are hurting or advocating for groups that need a voice.

But advocating for themselves? Questionable.
Trusting their own intuition? Sometimes.
Accepting their unique strengths and their perceived flaws? I mean, if replaying mistakes over and over again with increasing amounts of anxiety and self-loathing is acceptance, then, sure.

Loving, accepting and trusting oneself is a lovely idea. Who wouldn’t want that. “But, how?”

With over 150+ hours of advanced post-graduate training, 5,000+ hours of 1-1 experience, and a focus on holistic healing, I support my clients as they break old relationship patterns, overcome burnout, sustain wellness routines, deepen spiritual practices, reclaim their identity, and reimagine what is possible. Let me support you too.
