My work is supportive for those facing anxiety and depression, relationship challenges, life transitions, finding one’s voice and authenticity and those yearning to reclaim parts of themselves they felt they've had to disown. I offer sessions both in person and online out of a cozy office space. If you love dogs, my pup (Coco) will happily accompany our sessions!
My practice is influenced by attachment theory, body based somatic practices and person-centred care. But ultimately, I want to offer you a grounding space where you don’t have to perform, or have it all figured out. We explore together at a pace that feels supportive to you.
My goal as a therapist is to help you find your way back home to the person you are at your core. The version of you that can feel ease and more at home in yourself. If you're curious to work together, we can schedule a free 15 minute consultation.
