Healing Happens When the Whole Self Is Honored
True transformation occurs when we create space for the mind, body, and spirit to work in harmony. I believe emotional well-being isn't about “fixing” what's broken—it's about listening deeply, honoring all parts of yourself, and cultivating inner alignment.
Every Person Holds Innate Wisdom and Strength
I trust that each person already holds the insight they need to grow, heal, and thrive. My work is not to direct, but to walk beside you—to help you reconnect with your inner compass, awaken your natural resilience, and remember who you’ve always been.
Safe, Sacred Space Is the Foundation for Growth
I believe in creating spaces that are safe, inclusive, and sacred—where all identities, emotions, and experiences are welcomed without judgment. Growth doesn’t come from pushing harder. It comes from being held with care as you explore your truth and take your next step forward.

What is holistic counseling therapy?
Holistic counseling therapy is an approach that looks at the whole person, not just symptoms. Instead of focusing only on thoughts or behaviors, we explore how your mind, body, emotions, energy, relationships, and environment all impact your well-being. Healing happens on multiple levels, and holistic therapy honors that interconnectedness. In our work together, you’ll gain insight, learn practical tools, and reconnect with your inner strengths.
How is holistic therapy different from traditional talk therapy?
Holistic therapy includes everything traditional therapy offers: deep conversation, emotional processing, evidence-based practices, while also integrating tools that support the body and nervous system. This may include mindfulness, grounding, breathwork, somatic awareness, energy work, inner-child exploration, or ritual-based practices. It’s a more expansive, compassionate lens that honors your whole lived experience.
Do I need to be spiritual to benefit from holistic therapy?
Not at all. Holistic counseling therapy adapts to each person’s beliefs and comfort level. Some clients prefer a more mind-body approach, others enjoy integrating intuitive or energy-based work. You get to choose what feels right. My role is to meet you where you are, without judgment or expectation.
What kinds of holistic counseling tools or practices might we use during a session?
Depending on your needs and preferences, during your holistic counseling therapy session we may incorporate:
-
Mindfulness and grounding
-
Breathwork
-
Nervous system regulation tools
-
Somatic awareness

Values and meaning-centered exploration
-
Guided imagery
-
Inner-child or parts work
-
Journaling or creative practices
-
Gentle energy-based techniques (if requested)
Everything we do is collaborative, trauma-informed, and adapted to your pace.
