Some Symptoms I work with

The meaning of the word trauma, in its Greek origin, is 'wound.' Whether we realize it or not, it is our woundedness, or how we cope with it, that dictates much of our behavior, shapes our social habits, and informs our ways of thinking about the world. - Gabor Mate, The Myth of Normal

We live in a world that often over-medicalizes mental health—sometimes to validate what’s real, and sometimes in ways that reduce the complexity of our lived experience. Many of the symptoms we carry are actually responses to a world that asks too much and offers too little space for integration.

In my practice, I offer a different way. One that slows down enough to truly listen—to the body, the story, the silence, and what’s just beneath the surface. Whether you relate to a diagnosis, feel unsure, or resist the label altogether, I welcome you. I provide both clinical understanding and non-clinical insight, so we can make sense of your experience and choose the healing path that feels most aligned.

My training includes trauma therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and psychedelic-assisted approaches. But beyond techniques, what defines this work is the relationship we build—one rooted in presence, deep attention, and the belief that healing unfolds in its own timing.

I bring nature into the process—not just metaphorically, but tangibly. The natural world teaches us how to pace ourselves, regulate our nervous systems, and return to what is essential. I believe mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being are deeply interconnected. Therapy is one space where we can begin to restore that balance.

You don’t have to go it alone. Together, we can honor the complexity of who you are and create space for clarity, connection, and healing that truly fits you.
