Holistic Psychotherapy

My therapy style and approach integrates the biological, emotional, relational, cultural, ancestral, and spiritual dimensions of life. I practice from a heart-centered, spiritual, and somatic framework grounded in the belief that healing is not about fixing what is “wrong,” but about attuning to what is needed for integration, wholeness, and joy.

As the mystic poet Rumi wrote, “The wound is the place where the light enters you.” I see pain not as something to resist, but as a portal — an invitation into deeper truth, resilience, and transformation. Suffering often persists when we resist or suppress our wounds, become consumed by shame, or focus narrowly on symptom relief while neglecting a core part of being human: body, heart, or spirit. When we gently turn toward our experience with openness and compassion with an invitation to integrate all our parts, pain can become a doorway to healing rather than something that defines or confines us.

I believe you carry an innate wisdom and capacity for healing. Therapy can serve as a refuge to restore inner coherence, cultivate resilience, and transform wounds into sources of insight and strength, while also addressing emotional, mental, and relational distress. My role is to support you in turning toward your experience with openness and compassion, and to hold a safe container for your release, reclamation, and rise into a more resourced, grounded life.

A Spiritual & Somatic Lens

Often, talk therapy can unintentionally lean heavily on intellectual understanding and bypass a more holistic healing process. Bringing in somatic and spiritual perspectives allows access to deeper layers of meaning and resourcing. This can be especially supportive for those healing from narcissistic abuse/family systems, navigating chronic stress or pain, generational trauma, major life transitions, health crisis and terminal illness, and existential or spiritual inquiry.

Somatic work may include sensation awareness, breath work, mindfulness, nervous system regulation, and embodied emotional processing. The body and the psyche both carry important information about our wounds and our healing — what we’ve experienced, adapted to, or held onto is often reflected not just in our thoughts, but in our nervous system, patterns of tension, and felt sense. When the heart, body, and spirit are included, therapy becomes more than mental insight alone; it becomes a process that supports integration, regulation, and lasting change.

Individuals, Couples & Dyads

In addition to individual therapy, I work with couples and dyads who have a stable foundation of respect and are seeking deeper attunement, clearer communication, and more joyful connection. I do not work with couples who are currently experiencing high conflict, volatility, or significant relational distress. My services are best suited for those looking to strengthen — rather than fundamentally repair — core relational stability and contentment.

Ensuring a Good Fit

Therapeutic fit is essential. I use a brief pre-service assessment and a 15 minute free consult to ensure that client and therapist are well-suited. I believe, wholeheartedly, that proper fit is paramount to ethical and effective care. If either of us determine I am not the right fit for you at this time, I will offer referrals in support of you finding a better match.
