I work at the middle place between chronic illness and mental wellness. 

I specialize in:

• Anxiety

• Depression

• Fatigue

• Unease

• Embodiment

• Trauma


I love my work because I get to help folks explore and be curious. 

Curiosity is the driving force of my life. I love to explore the deeper aspects of the human experience. I continue to study and to follow my passion for meeting the edges of the unknown, and to learn. 

I work with folks who have some sense that their medical dis-ease would benefit from exploring their mental, emotional, spiritual wellness. I love working with folks who have explored many different modalities to access their aliveness and have some sense that something is still missing. They may have heard about or have some experience with Somatic practices, Somatic Experiencing, or Embodiment practices and are excited to explore this further.

Working as a naturopath means that I will not be the best fit for folks who are working with mental health issues that are best supported by a therapist. I am also not a good fit for folks who are only looking for naturopathic support. I am not a general practitioner.

The main modalities that I use are Somatic Experiencing, Core Energetics, and Trauma Informed Healing Intentional Touch. 

I support mental wellness with naturopathic treatments like diet modifications, herbal medicine, supplementation and sleep support. 

I want to make sure that I am the best fit for clients who are curious about this approach. For this reason, I ask that every person I see have a 30 minute consultation before we start a therapeutic relationship. This is a free (one time offer) to meet each other, ask questions and see if it is a good fit for continued work. 

I am currently working over Zoom, and the best way to reach me is through email.
