I am a somatic movement therapist and educator, and an expressive arts therapy practitioner. I am certified in the Tamalpa Life/Art Process® (an expressive arts methodology), registered as a Somatic Movement Therapist and Educator (ISMETA), and trained in meditation and mindfulness. My practice is also informed by studies in trauma, body-centered psychology, psychoanalysis, feminism, Buddhist philosophy, Internal Family Systems, and embodied spirituality.​

​

Grounded in themes of identity and intimacy, my trauma-sensitive work addresses both individuals and the spaces they inhabit. I celebrate diversity through a lens of cultural humility, feminism, and anti-discrimination, and am particularly passionate about sharing my work with women from diverse cultural backgrounds and with marginalized communities.

 

My style is collaborative, reflective, and rooted in fostering growth that aligns with personal values and goals. I've worked with at-risk teens, elderly populations affected by dementia, and women navigating cancer.

​

My own breast cancer diagnosis in 2023 deepened my understanding of the essential role of the body in healing and well-being.

 

I lean on an intentional and inclusive ethic of care to create healing spaces and foster meaningful connections through transformative offerings.
