The depth and breadth of my practice
Experience & Education
My approach to therapeutic care has developed through years of clinical practice, interdisciplinary education, professional collaboration, and a commitment to ongoing learning. With a foundation in Athletic Therapy, my studies have expanded into somatic approaches, trauma-informed practice, breathwork, acupuncture, herbalism, and traditional, nature based healing. These disciplines have shaped not only the tools I bring to my work, but the way I understand the relationships between physiology, lived experience, and the processes of healing and change.
Alongside individual client care, I have spent years teaching, facilitating groups, developing educational resources, and collaborating with other practitioners. This work continues to inform my approach to mentorship, consultation, and professional education.

Is my approach right for you?
I believe that meaningful therapeutic work begins with curiosity, collaboration, and a willingness to explore beyond the surface of our experiences.
My practice is particularly suited to those who are interested in developing a deeper relationship with themselves and their bodies, whether through navigating illness, injury, persistent patterns, or periods of personal transition.
You may be seeking support through a significant life change, exploring the ways your experiences have shaped you, or feeling called to approach your health and wellbeing from a different perspective.
You may already have an established relationship with somatic practice, personal exploration, or contemplative traditions. Or perhaps you’re simply curious about what a more individualized, integrative approach to therapeutic care might offer.
There is no expectation that you arrive with clarity, a particular belief system, or a defined vision of what healing should look like.
What matters most is an openness to participating in the process.
While physical symptoms, rehabilitation, and restorative care may be part of our work, my practice is not primarily focused on isolated treatments or symptom management alone. When a more conventional or specialized clinical approach is appropriate, I am happy to help you consider other avenues of care.
If this way of working resonates with you, I invite you to begin with a conversation about what brings you here and whether working together feels like a meaningful next step.
