My work is guided by the belief that life is a constant cycle of transition and transformation. Just as a doula accompanies individuals through life changing vulnerability and creativity, I offer support through life's unpredictability and impermanence, helping clients navigate personal challenges, relationships, self-esteem, emotional regulation, and overcoming patterns that hinder personal freedom, authenticity, and empowerment.

Sexuality

My Approach
I specialize in Spiritual and Depth Psychology, incorporating a trauma-informed, sex-positive, queer-affirming, feminist, and social justice-centered approach. I have a background in Women and Gender Studies and experience as a birth and postpartum doula, group facilitator for sex-positive spaces, and advocate for women’s sexual and reproductive health.
I am dedicated to addressing the impact of systemic oppression and intergenerational trauma that affect the minds, bodies and spirits of my clients. My approach blends multiple therapeutic modalities, including spiritual and depth psychology, humanistic, attachment-based, gestalt, existential, and feminist frameworks, enriched by tools such as mindfulness, somatic practices, internal family systems, eco-therapy, art therapy, and dialectical behavioral techniques as well as archetypal psychology through astrology, tarot and dream work . Each client—whether individual, couple, family, or teen—receives a tailored experience that reflects their distinct needs.
My mission is to help individuals reconnect with their true essence, empowering them to live in alignment with their core values and deepest truths, while offering empathy, connection, and curiosity throughout their journey of self-discovery.
I believe that your symptoms are a roadmap, guiding you back to your wild and precious self. When we deviate too far from our essential nature, the inner fire that we are meant to nurture, we start experiencing symptoms of distress and disconnection.
It is my deepest honor to listen with you and hold the torch as you find your way back to yourself so that you can live the whole-hearted and fiery life that you were meant to live.
