Counseling Services
Do you feel like something is missing in your relationships with your body, the people you care about, the environment, or your sense of what life could feel like? You’re not alone, and you don’t have to do this by yourself. I believe that amidst the exhaustion, fear, and stress we may feel, we aren’t broken; we’re responding to the world through creative (and often complicated) adaptations. We’re doing the best we can with the tools we’ve learned so far, and our bodies have carried us through it all.
I work with individuals age 15+ and friends navigating relational complexity, exploring identity, experiencing existential grief, and considering questions related to belonging.
My clients are artists, musicians, storytellers, gamers, professionals, movement practitioners, and everything in between. What they share is a longing to feel more at home in their bodies, more in contact with the people and world around them, and more fully seen. Does that sound like you? Let's meet.
I am transgender, queer, kink, and poly affirming and am a Health at Every Size aligned provider.

What is a session like?
Sessions with me are experiential and collaborative. I'm as interested in your D&D campaign or your record collection as I am in anything else that's alive and important to you. I find that the things people are most passionate about are often the most direct route to what they're working on. We might talk, move, or play. You bring your interests, curiosities, desire, and goals. I'll bring 14 years of experience as a movement and embodiment teacher and advanced training and certifications in movement and somatics, nature and forest therapy, psychedelic therapies and integration, depth psychology, liberation psychology, and processwork. Together we'll follow your process and what's emerging in your life right now. Let's not put a framework on your experience; let's be in contact with it together.
