Hello! Have you been actively reflecting on your patterns—your thoughts, reactions, and ways of coping—and ready to understand them more deeply? You may not have everything figured out, but you’re curious, self-aware, and willing to engage in meaningful inner work, even when it’s uncomfortable. You might be navigating a significant life transition: a health diagnosis, menopause or hormonal changes, aging and the shifts that come with it, or the emotional weight of caring for aging parents. These changes may have stirred up anxiety, grief, irritability, or a sense of “Who am I now?”
I work with people who are ready to look inward with honesty and compassion. My approach is grounded in trauma-informed care, mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), and somatic practices, helping you slow down enough to notice the patterns that quietly shape your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. I incorporate medication for symptom relief as needed.
My goal is not to “fix” you, but to help you develop a more attuned relationship with yourself. Through mindful awareness and body-based tools, you can begin to respond to life’s transitions with greater resilience, clarity, and self-trust. I welcome you to reach out if your are ready to take the next step to understanding yourself better.
