Do you feel stuck in a sense that you are not good enough? Imagine no longer feeling patterns that hurt, or no longer being paralyzed by beliefs that block you from being the person you want to be. My goal is to walk alongside you helping you identify what's holding you back from the life you want, and to gently but profoundly help you heal those wounds so you can grow. I love working with people to reprocess old traumatic life experiences that get in the way, when they really just want to be healthy.

I believe symptoms are often the body’s way of communicating with us. Learning to recognize our symptoms as messages to listen to, we start making sense of the chaos, and feel less out of control. I’m committed to helping you get that kind of relief and clarity, so that it becomes easier to explore the roots of what gets you stuck. The therapy I offer is experiential and relational, providing the context to name what needs to heal, process what's overwhelming, build psychological skills and confidence, grow in compassion, strengthen relationships, and find a path forward with greater freedom, meaning, and hope.

Sometimes we have the feeling that we’ve tried everything to get better, but instead we keep repeating patterns and behaviors we know hurt us and can hurt those around us.
