About
As the creator of Breathe First, I am passionate about expanding the definition and practice of mental health. My aim is to build meaningful and collaborative partnerships with every client and provide truly holistic treatment. Bringing together theory, technique, and ideas from diverse modalities and philosophies, we meet you where you are. All of our programming is trauma-informed and filtered through a social justice lens so that our liberation as individuals is rooted in and honoring of our connection to each other. My experience is extensive and varied, and all of my work draws on a dynamic blend of approach. Together, we can address concerns related to depression, anxiety, grief, marriage, parenting, gender, spirituality, and career. I am also a certified yoga teacher and I completed the MAPS psychedelic-assisted therapy training to bring new modalities into our work.
