Your story is worthy of witnessing and exploration. Trauma and chronic stress can block our ability to find words, recall memories, and feel connected with our bodies. By intentionally weaving talk therapy with experiential methods like drama therapy and psychodrama, the whole body is invited into healing. This allows the nervous system to shift from “fight, flight, and freeze” responses to a grounded connectedness- both within the body and in relationship with others. Though hard work, it’s also play; a co-created journey, finding wellbeing and joy.

Life's challenges often lead us to ask "why," seeking meaning and understanding. While this quest can feel overwhelming, remember that we are the experts of our own lives, capable of finding our own answers and forging our path forward. How would it feel to not have to face the unknown alone as you seek the help you need?

My ideal client is a person who wants to be heard and supported. He/she may be struggling with depression, anxiety, or life's stressors, intending to figure out ways to adjust and heal. I enjoy hearing people's experiences and helping them navigate and explore solutions to issues that affect them. My ideal client maybe a couple who had a strong relationship, but have drifted apart, lost interest, couldn't communicate, and wants to strengthen and rebuild their relationship. Equally important, my ideal client may be a family, who recognized that their family systems patterns are unhealthy. They want to thrive, and I want to help.

Resilience, the ability to bounce back from adversity, is born through kindness and self compassion. Trauma, feelings of anxiety, depression, lack of hope or motivation, and disconnection can cause us to lose compassion for ourselves and others. We want to feel good, be active, and live the way we want to live but sometimes stress and adversity create roadblocks that stand in the way. “I can be changed by what happens to me. But I refuse to be reduced by it.” ― Maya Angelou. Welcome to Kind Minds - it takes bravery to seek therapy, I'm glad you're here!

If you feel stuck in any area of your life, we have a team of eight clinicians who are all highly skilled in helping identify ways to allow you to move forward in your life. While each of us bring our own unique personalities and style, all of us approach our clients with an attachment lens and all have extensive trauma-informed backgrounds.

Have you or your child been struggling to manage strong emotions or major life transitions? Strong feelings can make us feel stuck, but I'm here to help! My goal is to provide a supportive, trusting and therapeutic alliance with my clients in an environment that feels safe and supportive. I have experience working with a wide-range of clientele including children, adolescents and families who have experienced depression, anxiety, social issues and trauma. Calling a therapist can be intimidating but I hope you will take a moment to reach out to see how I can help.

No one comes to a therapist because they need a lecture. You're here because you need a partner on your personal journey to healing. Good therapy is an invitation into a dialogue, not a monologue where someone "thera-splains" yourself to you. It's my passion to help my clients with self-esteem, depression, anxiety, parenting and learning to find enjoyment in daily life. I use trauma-informed and strengths-based approaches to support my clients and am LGBTQ affirming. My areas of expertise include life transitions, depression/anxiety and positive parenting coaching (including how to support your LGBTQ child).
