We believe that being the best version of ourselves requires work. Many things can obstruct our path toward self-improvement. We enjoy accompanying our clients on their path and helping them to overcome their challenges. Individuals often become entrenched in patterns of behavior and relationships that are difficult to escape. But if we can assist our clients in honestly assessing their motivations, we believe they can live authentic, meaningful lives every day.

Above all else, I value the human experience. My approach is to meet individuals, couples, and families where they are to help balance their current reality with what they desire. I can help you develop improved insights and effective coping skills. I work with couples and families to achieve healthy goals of relating. Once empowered with tools, clients can begin to experience a new and positive reality.

My ideal client (s) are individuals, couples and families. I enjoy working with adults and families who want to improve their process for self care and learn healthy coping skills.

I view mental health and wellness through a holistic lens. I believe that effective counseling addresses the mind, body, and soul. To do this, I utilize various mindfulness approaches such as somatic based techniques, guided meditation, and neurobiological education to help clients gain insight in the mind-body connection, regulate emotions, manage challenges, and better understand themselves. This integration of health and wellness paired with an individualized and authentic framework, will explore some of the many elements that may hold you back from living a life that you are truly deserving and worthy of.

We're all just trying to make sense of this thing called life. Some of us are empowered while others struggle. No matter where you might find yourself on this continuum, I can help you.
