I am a licensed psychotherapist in private practice and a Learning Facilitator with the Synthesis Institute in their Psychedelic Practitioner Core Training program. I have formal training in Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy and completed the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS) training for MDMA-Assisted Psychotherapy.  I have experience working with trauma, attachment-related issues, and mental health concerns in a variety of settings: private practice, public school system, and county mental health agency. Additionally, I am a parent, certified yoga instructor, and occasionally lead personal growth retreats for individuals and groups. 

​

I believe the body holds much wisdom, as well as being the holder of memories and trauma, which led me to the study of massage, ayurveda, yoga, EMDR, and somatic psychotherapy modalities. My approach combines relational talk therapy with somatic psychotherapy to allow my clients to deepen into their healing and access resilience and wholeness.
