Talking things through and accountability have not been enough to sustain satisfaction in your life? Let’s try something different! In our sessions everything deserves a place; emotions, thoughts, images, dreams, desires, impulses, stories, and sensations, they all belong. And all need to be acknowledged in order to generate real movements and shifts in our lives. Movements can happen externally as a physical release, internally as a new image of ourselves, or at a soul level shifting our dynamics with others, and the way we live.

My treatment approach focuses on two areas to help you with your current difficulties. The first is a focus on identifying what I call your "backstory"- meaning the experiences you have had with people throughout your life. We all learn certain patterns of how to be with other people, and how to regard ourselves, from our "backstory." Sometimes these patterns interfere with our ability to lead mentally healthy and fulfilling lives.

Do you struggle with feeling overwhelmed or that stress is getting in the way of enjoying your life? Is there a heaviness you feel that make regular activities seem difficult or challenging? Are there past experiences that show up in your present and make it difficult to function, like you don't feel quite like yourself or enjoy things you used to?

Healing begins when people feel seen, understood, and heard in a non-judgmental space. I specialize in working with adults who have anxiety, depression, ADHD, perfectionism and attachment trauma. Together, we can explore your past to develop a deeper self-understanding. I see importance in exploring the root causes of symptoms. Balancing exploration and practical skills, I help people make connections between how life experiences and early relationships have impacted their functioning now; healing their inner child, and learning how to cope with emotions such as sadness, anxiety, and shame.
