I have always been an observer of the way that people interact, the ways we seek comfort, connection, healing and the converse, the things we do to keep ourselves from being known. I know first hand that the places we come from and the hurts we have experienced prime so much of the way that we respond in relationship and in life.
I am passionate about creating a safe place for people to move out of stuck or aimless places toward new places of hope, healing, awareness, freedom and ultimately- connection. I am a firm believer that healing should be accessible to everyone. Because of this, I hope to create an environment where clients can experience intentional inclusion, where all can feel safe and valued, and all are given a meaningful opportunity to heal and grow. I aim to cherish the sameness of our common humanity, while also celebrating and affirming the diversities inherent to our human existence. I welcome all gender identities and expressions, sexual orientations, bodies of all culture, racial, ethnic, national and cultural identities, relationship structure preferences, neurodiversities, spiritual/religious affiliations, body abilities, education levels, financial means, sexes and ages.
I was born and spent twelve years in Zambia before moving to Atlanta where I lived until I moved to Nashville. In my free time I enjoy traveling, cups of tea, books, hiking, and writing poetry.
