About Sacred Roots Counseling
"I am not what happened to me, I am who I choose to become." - Carl Jung
Life can feel overwhelming when there’s disconnection from your emotions, needs, or sense of self. It can feel like you’re on autopilot in your own life. Our bodies hold all of our experiences, and sometimes experiences can cause a part of us to become ‘stuck’; leaving residual pain, discomfort, or even trauma. I approach my practice from a somatic lens - giving attention and care to how painful experiences can disrupt the nervous system. Through reprocessing and body integration, we can see how past experiences are showing up in the here and now, and create space for change and healing.
I work with adolescents (14+) and adults dealing with anxiety, depression, life changes, trauma, etc. LGBTQIA+ affirming and celebratory. I have extensive training in treating complex trauma/PTSD and in sand tray therapy.
Healing only happens in the presence of safety. Our sessions will offer a grounded, relational space where your whole self is welcome. It's my priority to build a compassionate and empathetic relationship, to meet you exactly where you are.

Why 'Sacred Roots'?
I chose the word sacred for my practice as a a reclamation; you get to decide what is sacred to you - moments, places, things, relationships, etc. What you consider to be sacred to you will be honored and respected with me and in my space. For something to be considered sacred, it is often limited to religious spaces. Professionally and personally, I believe we each get to decide that for ourselves. In our work together, my priority will be to create an environment of safety and trust - where you are seen, supported, and celebrated in each step of your journey.
I have found myself repeatedly drawn back to this artwork by Scott Erikson, Another Chance. Our roots - our experiences, whether healing or traumatic - always stay with us. Sometimes our roots feel shallow, malnourished, or damaged. And yet, although the roots cannot change, they still hold space for growth, change, and healing. Our bodies hold the tools for healing, sometimes it just needs guidance, nourishment, and a safe place to grow again.
