I am still accepting new clients and am offering phone and video sessions via Zoom for clients who are distancing or quarantined.
About
Change is scary and we often feel overwhelmed. We yearn for connection and yet fear reaching out. It takes courage to recognize that we are stuck and commitment to want to seek support to feel better, be stronger, and healthier. I partner with individuals, couples, and families to invite connection to self and others, improve communication, and discover the fulfillment and joy within relationships.
I provide a safe, non-judgmental space for you to explore your struggles, help you make meaning of them, and to create a personal sense of empowerment to overcome life’s challenges. I utilize mind-body practices with evidence--based treatments coupled with a strengths-based, trauma-responsive approach to craft solutions that are tailored to your needs.
My therapy style is integrative, creative, and restorative. I am also interested in cross-cultural and generational issues. You are not alone. You are worthy of the time and energy it takes to embrace life with renewed hope and peace. When you are ready to work on the things that get in the way of where and how you want to be, I am able to support you.
