My passion for helping families and individuals heal led me to specialize in Medical Family Therapy and to also receive advance training in EMDR therapy. Sometimes life overwhelms us, but it doesn’t have to. I believe we all have the potential to control the way we react to situations we face.

Your life doesn’t look like everyone else’s. Maybe your relationships are different, or your job isn't a traditional 9-5, or maybe you’re a little too “woo” for everyone else. You find yourself holding back from sharing in a group because you’re tired of getting “the look” from others. You may find it hard to get support because your situation is so unique. At night, you may lay in bed feeling alone and like no one will ever understand you.

Individuals may choose to seek support for a myriad of reasons. Whether you have a specific barrier you’d like to work through, are on a mission for healing grief or trauma, or want to find a new sense of peace within your world, we are here for you. It is our mission to support each individual in their journey while offering them empowerment, transformation and advocacy in a compassionate and individualized manner.
