Hello, I'm glad you're here! Somatic healing work supported me in finding wholeness after decades of struggling with depression and complex trauma, and I'm excited to share this path with others.
I hold a master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and I am a certified Somatic Sex Educator and Sexological Bodyworker. I've found that integrating tools that meet and support the whole person- body, mind, spirit/soul, emotions, relationships- creates the most powerful context for healing and change. Touch is necessary for human healing and thriving and I offer trauma-informed, intentional touch for those that desire it in our work together. I believe that sexuality is an area of profound wounding in our culture and creating sex-positive, anti-oppressive spaces for sexual healing and empowerment is vital. I am excited to be a part of the professions of Somatic Sex Education and Sexological Bodywork. I have served on the leadership board of the Somatic Sex Educators Association and I am co-editor of Healers on the Edge, the first book about the profession of Somatic Sex Education. I strongly believe that empowered, embodied pleasure is healing not only on an individual level; it is necessary for our collective evolution. I'm passionate about helping people transform their relationships with their bodies, heal trauma and release shame. It's an honor to witness my clients creating more pleasure, possibility and wholeness in their bodies and lives. |
