Challenging situations can be nudges for you to take time and look inside to recognize them as opportunities to heal, grow, and to make changes needed to break free from feeling stuck, lead a more satisfying life, heal relationships, and bring you back to feeling like yourself again. Whether you're having some painful emotions from childhood trauma, feeling stuck in a relationship, going through a life transition, or just the uncertainty and of the world, therapy can be a wonderful place to begin to take time for yourself. Many people seek therapy not only for relief, but to reconnect with their authentic expression and resilience.

In our work together, I provide a safe and welcoming space to help you draw on your personal strengths while exploring deeper layers of your experience. Using mindfulness and somatic approaches, we’ll uncover and compassionately work with parts of yourself that may carry limiting beliefs or patterns, opening the way for growth, freedom, and new possibilities

Clients describe my approach as warm, respectful, and non-judgmental. I view therapy as a true partnership, working together toward your goals at a pace that feels right for you. I deeply honor each person I work with, and it’s moving to witness their inner wisdom and natural capacity to heal. If you’re seeking a supportive space, I welcome you to reach out.

I can help you if you are struggling with anxiety, people-pleasing, or feeling disconnected from your sense of worth. Together we'll explore the patterns keeping you stuck and build new ways of relating to yourself and others. Most clients begin to feel more clear, empowered, and grounded in their value within the first month; finding calm, self compassion, and connected meaning and purpose.

I primarily use mindfulness based and nervous system regulation approaches. Since most current symptoms begin from a ongoing fight/flight or shut down response, we'll work together to explore which regulation tools can help you feeling more like yourself again. Developing a strong sense of self compassion also helps change the nervous system and is a wonderful tool to start feeling better soon.
