Zuleka is a relational and humanistic counselor who blends existential, somatic, narrative, and parts work to help clients reconnect with themselves, build insight, and navigate life’s complexities with greater clarity and resilience. She takes a person-centered, trauma-informed approach, believing that clients are the experts of their own stories and deserving of a space where they feel fully seen and supported.

Her work is rooted in the belief that healing happens through both awareness and embodiment. Zuleka brings particular focus to the nervous system’s role in wellbeing and supports clients in strengthening the mind-body connection as they move toward growth and healing. She works with a wide range of concerns, including trauma, grief, life transitions, and aging-related challenges.

Zuleka is committed to creating an affirming, inclusive space that honors the intersectionality of each individual’s identity and lived experience. Her presence is grounded, compassionate, and open—offering room for both deep exploration and levity.

She holds a Master of Counseling in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Oregon State University–Cascades. She has also completed additional training in mindfulness meditation, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), somatic therapies, and internal family systems (IFS).

Originally from Aotearoa New Zealand, Zuleka brings a culturally attuned, global perspective to her work. In her personal time, she enjoys traveling, exploring embodied practices including making pottery and gardening, and spending time with her fiancé and their bulldog mix, Theo.
