This work is deeply relational, ecological, creative, and experimental. Traditional talk therapy locates the “problem” within the individual, assessing, diagnosing, and treating mental illness without acknowledging the systems of oppression which create it. Together we can reject this framing and instead open up to the collective way of understanding. We weren’t meant to do this alone, and we are never truly alone because everything is connected. The work becomes a process of allowing the awareness of our interconnectedness to come alive. As the world gets more and more complex and the collapse deepens, the need to expand our capacity and be with high levels of intensity increases. This work is ultimately about expanding capacity.

Each session is a collaborative space and we begin with a simple question: What’s alive for you right now? It might be a physical sensation, a recent interaction with a friend, an emotion, an image…we slow down and tune into what wants to unfold in the moment. My main ways of working include:

💚 Deeply attuned listening & authentic relating

I bring my whole self so you connect with a real human being, not an expert hiding behind a credential. I offer my full presence, realness, and heart-centered warmth, to create a space where you can share your whole self too. No topic, idea, words, or experience is off limits—you can bring the darkest of shadows, shame, and things you may have never allowed yourself to feel or say. All of you is honored and welcome here. I truly believe world peace starts with us—can we be with all of our contradictions, complexities, and messy bits? Can we extend that to others too? The more we allow space for everything to be welcome, the more capacity we have to be with others in their own messiness.

🌿 Ecosomatic awareness

Traditional somatic work focuses on the individual’s body and nervous system, but this gives us an incomplete picture when everything and everyone is connected. Ecosomatics brings in collective awareness and supports connecting to our inner and outer ecosystems. When we can recognize that the same water, earth, fire, and air that surrounds us also flows through and makes up our own bodies, we are beginning to grasp the web of relations to which we belong. This is nothing new, this is something our ancestors knew and that indigenous people have know for thousands of years. The loss of connection to the land was the first step in losing access to this deep knowing, and through this work we reclaim this lost connection.

Some related modalities I draw on: Somatic therapy (Sensorimotor Psychotherapy), Ecospirituality, Nature therapy, Transpersonal psychology, Evolutionary Psychology, mindfulness, Parts work within an ecological, collective framing

✨ Creative Exploration

Our work can be delightfully playful, creative, and experimental. Exploring through art, play, movement, sound healing, writing, reading, nature walks, and other creative projects can lead to new insights and ways of thinking and experiencing.
