Within each of us lies the vision and hope for the life we want to live. Yet, we can feel overwhelmed by inner or outer challenges, fears, negative beliefs, low self-esteem, anxiety or depression. In many years of practice, I have seen the resilience of the human spirit. As a Spiritual Psychotherapist, I work with traditional approaches, as well as those rooted in Transpersonal Psychology, Archetypal Psychology and Shamanism which recognize the power and strength inherent within to facilitate change. My aim is to act as guide as clients address past pain and present circumstances that limit the ability to live a life in full bloom.

Do you find yourself overwhelmed by anxiety and worry, no matter what you try?
Do you seem to “have it all together” on the outside - but inside, you’re constantly battling anxiety and worry? You’ve accomplished a lot, yet instead of peace, you feel on edge or stuck. Maybe a recent life change - a breakup, new school or job, move, or shift in family dynamics - has only amplified the anxiety that’s been bubbling beneath the surface. Deep down, you know something needs to shift, even if you’re not exactly sure what. You’re ready to understand yourself more, break old patterns, and finally feel calmer and more grounded.

Life is amazing—how much we endure and still carry on. Kids grow fast, time flies, coworkers test our patience, and we often give others compassion we deny ourselves. We overload our plates when we really need rest. We crave connection yet miss chances right in front of us. Life is short, but we learn so much along the way, and small steps can create massive change.

Living in survival mode takes a deep toll on our minds and bodies. Over the past several years, I’ve supported children, teens, and adults navigating trauma, ADHD, addictions, anxiety, depression, emotional overwhelm, self-worth and identity challenges, parenting stress and more. My personal experiences - growing up supporting a parent with mental illness and later being diagnosed with ADHD - give me an inside understanding of these struggles. I take a holistic, trauma-informed, and client-centered approach to therapy, drawing from modalities like CBT, DBT, ACT, Internal Family Systems, and Somatic practices.

Deep work. Real connection. Evolving tools.

More and more people turn to AI tools like ChatGPT to manage stress. I take that seriously. The advice they get—often CBT-based—isn’t wrong, but it’s limited.
