Embodied Holistic Healing, LLC

I utilize a holistic wellness umbrella over my eclectic therapeutic approach to help clients heal in all aspects of living - emotional, mental, sexual, spiritual, and physical. I strive to provide a safe, non-judgmental, affirming space for clients to explore the challenges that have brought them to counseling by meeting you where you are at. I am proudly a LGBTQ+, Kink, and Polyamory allied and affirming clinician who specializes in working with individuals and those in relationships of all sexual identities, relationship styles, ethnicities, abilities, races and cultural backgrounds, body sizes, and lifestyles. As a counselor, I incorporate aspects of Mindfulness, Somatic (body-based) Awareness, Meditation, and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy with a strong emphasis on humanistic, client-centered, multicultural, feminist, and queer theories to help clients cultivate a deeper sense of awareness and understanding of themselves and the world around them. I will ally with you to create a roadmap for healing based on your values that will include holistic and integrative evidence-based treatments. I have experience supporting clients on a variety of topics such as: self-esteem/worth, perfectionism, people-pleasing, codependency, gender and sexual identity exploration/expression, the coming out process, gender transition, poly+ dynamics, communication, relational issues, anxiety, guilt and shame, life transition, attachment, stress, and childhood wounds/trauma. I believe that one of the goals of therapy is to un-therapy, meaning that the approaches that I use are most effective with clients who are growth-oriented, motivated, open-minded, and willing to do the work in between sessions to integrate the skills and insights gained during our sessions. The therapeutic relationship is an integral piece to the counseling process and it is important that you feel your therapist is a good fit for you. This relationship is built upon trust, compassion, respect, and understanding which facilitates the ability for change to occur. My hope is that through this relationship you will develop courage and skills that allow you to embody clarity and compassion as well as empower you with the knowledge to heal and navigate life's challenges. I take the necessary steps of staying informed, knowledgeable, and reflective as I grow through my allyship. I am an advocate, avid learner, and reader which allows me to stay educated and informed about ways I can continue to grow and develop as a Professional Counselor. Outside of the office, I am often spending time in nature, traveling, meditating, practicing yoga, biking, journaling, cultivating connections with loved ones, and spending time with my dog, Harley (whom you're likely hear/see during our calls!).
