Licensed Professional Counselor 
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner
Philosophy and Approach to Healing
With appreciation for the mind-body-spirit connection, I meet you where you are. Together, we invite new perspectives as you build self-awareness, shift unhealthy patterns, and experience movement of stuck energy. My style is rooted in Attachment perspective, and is Person-Centered and Feminist, with a strong somatic and parts focus.
I use a holistic approach that encourages your innate ability to move toward self-acceptance and build flexibility for adjusting to life challenges. Primary to the work is connection, internal and interpersonal, and I recognize the context of our broader environment. I use Somatic Experiencing and Inner Relationship Focusing as important elements of the practice. I am also experienced at facilitating psychedelic integration (not administration) and other kinds of integration work.

Education, Experience and Certification
I hold a Master’s of Science degree in Clinical Rehabilitation Counseling from Georgia State University and am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Georgia (#LPC011719). As a certified SE Practitioner (SEP) and training assistant, I use Somatic Experiencing (SE), a method for releasing trauma stored in the nervous system. I also draw on the philosophy of Inner Relationship Focusing to help you gently access and communicate with internal states, shifting inner awareness while building presence.
Before engaging in the field of psychotherapy, I spent a decade working with students, faculty, and staff at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts. I also hold a Master’s of Public Administration for Health Policy from New York University, and worked in research focused on substance use at NYU’s Medical School. I was also a community herbalist for many years, and bring that holistic mindset to my therapy practice.
