About my
Therapy Offerings
Personalized to meet your specific needs
Treatment Purposes and What to Expect
I offer thirty min consultations before our initial meeting to allow time for us to discuss your needs and to agree on the areas we’ll be working on during our time together.
Every session is personalized to clients’ specific needs. At the end of each session, there will be time to integrate and to talk about any homework exercises or further suggestions.
If several sessions are planned, I develop a trajectory for our session and session notes for you to keep.
I create a safe space of non-judgment where you can..
- Share yourself fully without fear.
- Rewire your neuro-pathways to create new possibilities, perspectives, experiences, and feelings in your life.
- Connect body-mind-heart to move into empowered agency and choice in the present moment.
How does this differ from massage?
In massage, you’re working on the muscles that cross over one joint and move your bones.
Structural Bodywork focuses on the fascial tissue that runs continuously throughout the body dictating our range of motion. Fascial tissues are connective membranes that move, tear, reconfigure, expand, and contract depending on how you use your body.
Just like how trees spiral upwards when they grow, our bodies spiral downward when they’re injured or strained under stress.
With over thirty years of bodywork training and private practice, I specialize in seeing people’s distinct patterns and work to help unwind them. Myofascial release work helps clients move more freely through an improved range of motion.
Who I work with:
- Athletes looking for optimum range of motion
- Injury recovery
- Chronic pain
- Scar tissue repair
- Anyone with a body

Somatic Experiencing
Somatic Experiencing is a gentle therapy developed by Peter Levine to assist in healing trauma held in the body.
Somatic Experiencing guides clients in developing resources and tools needed to help regulate their nervous system. Through awareness, movement, breathwork, imagery, and sound, I assist clients in discharging held emotions in the body connected to traumatic events.
Clients have often had years of talk therapy yet still feel that they hold deep emotions in their bodies. Somatic Experiencing provides clients a safe space to explore these bodily sensations and tools to help clients move through them.
Trauma occurs when unexpected events happen too much and too fast that the body and nervous system can not regulate themselves afterward.
Somatic Experiencing can help loosen the knots that bind you to specific events. It helps manage stress, resolve trauma-related issues, heal from and navigate life’s transitions and relationships, and build resilience.
Areas I work with:
- Developmental Traumas
- Sexual Violence
- Birth Traumas
- Surgery/Medical Traumas
- Family Trauma
- Accidents
“If unresolved trauma can store itself in your muscles, fascia, organs, cells, and the rest of your physical body, so can joy, gratitude, abundance, love, and peace. Your body is also a safe space.”
Somatic Sexology
I am a Somatic Sexologist, certified Somatic Sex Educator, and Sexological Bodyworker.
Sexual health begins with the connection to your body and how you move through the world. You may, as a result, have a better sex life, but I am here to help educate and guide you into a deeper connection with yourself and your own pleasure. I am a licensed touch-based practitioner though not all sessions entail touch.
I work with vulva owners, couples, and LGBTQ individuals both in person and online. I am trauma-informed and trained to support and hold what may come up in sessions.
I offer group education for youth around consent, boundaries, and Sex education. I also facilitate groups for adults around sexuality, pleasure, and consent. It is a co-created journey of self-inquiry, self-love & discovery.
When we are more comfortable, and in touch with ourselves, we can be more present and compassionate with those around us.
Gentleness and acceptance begin with ourselves.
I assist clients with:
- Connecting to your power and pleasure
- Coaching partners on ways to connect
- Sex toy education and resources
- Bringing playfulness into the bedroom

Entheogen Integration
Integration happens after an entheogenic experience.
It’s the process where you take the insights, wisdom, and thoughts that arouse on your journey and start to implement them into your daily life. Therefore it’s not just an experience you’ve had but it becomes a springboard for positive changes.
Some changes may take place organically and automatically without additional effort; like thoughts, patterns, or behaviors. Other more challenging or uncomfortable changes may take a more deliberate approach as to how best to implement them into your life for the growth you are seeking.
Entheogens are not for everybody. Having support afterward though can greatly enhance and expand your neuroplasticity, which is the brain’s ability to change through growth and reorganization. The brain learns to function in a way that differs from how it previously functioned by developing new neuropathways. This is when you want to consciously implement healthier choices into your life which will create new patterns.
