Welcome! I am honored to welcome and celebrate you, exactly as you are. Through an accessible and body-affirming lens, I use invitational methods to support you in accessing your agency and discovering your capacity for healing.

I am dedicated to helping you connect with your whole self—body, mind, and spirit, and your own interior landscape—in creative and meaningful ways. 

I am guided by my love of humanity in all its complexity, my own experience of living with chronic illness, and my extensive training and professional background. I have been a certified Integrated Movement Therapist since 2019 and a yoga instructor since 2008. My areas of specialty are chronic illness and anxiety. My social justice values are reflected in my work. I have experience working with BIPOC and LGBTQ2SIA+ clients.

I have a deep love for animals and spend a lot of my free time with my six rescue companions—four cats and two dogs! I also spend my days navigating the many ups and downs of living with chronic illness, which is one of the reasons I connect deeply to Integrated Movement Therapy.

I find great fulfillment in being able to support others who also struggle with complex life challenges and circumstances.
