I recognize that every person has an innate human need to be heard, witnessed, respected, and honored in those experiences. The focus of my practice is to honor every individual's unique feelings, circumstances, and experiences without interpreting them. My goal is to find the deepest meanings to their experiences. I want to help them heal from those experiences and help them to integrate them into becoming empowered to live their fullest lives.

People face extraordinary pressure in today's society. There's an overwhelming need to present perfectly and 'have it all together.' Because of this, many tell me that they feel anxious, depressed, compulsive, or disconnected from their true selves. They sometimes struggle with self-harm or suicidal thoughts. Some want to live more authentically, but feel trapped within the persona of who they think they're supposed to be. Even if they've met with professionals in the past, they don't feel like it's made much of a difference. They want change, and they're ready for something different.
