The privilege of a lifetime is being who you are -Joseph Campbell. Together, we can really hone in on what it is you are wanting for yourself and finding a path forward, that best suites you. Often, the work is getting back in touch with your Self in a deeper way—like re-calibrating your inner compass. My understanding of counseling comes from holistic, somatic and trauma-informed approaches that incorporate mind, body, and soul such as Jungian, IFS and transpersonal. Sex therapy is also a very important part of the work I do. Check out my website blog to learn more details about how I work.

Certified Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, Internal Family Systems (level 3) and NARM Therapist. Trained in Psychedelic/ketamine work. Sex therapy certificate from UofM. Somatic Sex Therapy certificate MSTI. EMDR trained. A 2nd MA in Jungian psychology. Working on Phd in psychology. I am a supervisor at Tink Tank Animate an autism center focused on expressive arts.

I am dedicated to providing an anti-oppression, social justice-oriented, feminist & body positive space. I am sex positive, LGBTQIA+ advocating, gender affirming, polyamory & kink affirming. Neurodiverse affirming. I am de-colonizing therapy, by preferring to not diagnose clients because of its historical roots in being used to oppress/ostracize people.
