Life can move us to knock on new doors for help along our journey. Seeking therapy is a chance to face internal battles and transform. It is taking a step in hope toward a better future. Change which can prove elusive when we go it alone. As your therapist, I will provide you with a safe & welcoming place where you can develop self-awareness. A compassionate hand that will support & empower you. Guidance to understand & master self-defeating patterns. Using an integrated approach attuned to the mind, body, & emotions, we will help you overcome internal obstacles that thwart you.
Tracking patterns of thinking, responding, & relating, provides us a roadmap to help you turn away from old ways that no longer serve you. This increases your ability to live the life that you want & frees you to embody your authentic self. Deeper connection in relationships, greater confidence in your decision making & increased emotional resilience arise.
It is a privilege to serve as a guide on a person's healing journey toward greater peace & freedom. To show up for this task after, sometimes, many a season of waiting takes courage. In my practice, I also respect matters of spirit, in accordance with each individual. I welcome your call to discuss the possibility of our working together.

This quote by Sue Monk Kidd sums up the ethos of my practice: The body knows things a long time before the mind catches up to them. I teach my clients to pay close attention to their felt experience with their full sensorial capacity. To advance from a mere focus on thoughts and become attuned to feelings and body sensations too, along with instincts, and their intuition.
