More about what to expect

Healing Modalities

My work draws inspiration from multiple healing modalities landing the heart of my practice as explorative and compassion focused with a critical eye on how culture impacts every aspect of our lives.

Some of the techniques I use in my work include:

  • Mindful and somatic practices

  • Inner child/parts work

  • Guided imagery

  • Narrative, metaphor and storytelling

  • Harm reduction principles

Your healing process is as unique as your finger print, and I would never claim to know “the right” way to healing. Together we will weave new and old ideas and practices to find the path that is right for you.

WE APPROACH OUR lives on different trajectories, each of us spinning in our own separate, shining orbits. What gives this life its resonance is when those trajectories cross and we become engaged with each other, for as long or as fleetingly as we do. There’s a shared energy then, and it can feel as though the whole universe is in the process of coming together. I live for those times. No one is truly every “just passing through.” Every encounter has within it the power of enchantment, if we’re willing to look for it.
