Do you feel like "life" controls you versus you controlling YOUR life? Are you tired of going through the motions of life and instead want to be part of the motions? Chronic stress, negative thoughts, childhood and adult trauma, and unhealthy relationships can make it hard to be your true authentic self. As a result, you may feel anxious, depressed, out of control, exhausted, guilty, or have low self-esteem. Together on this wellness journey, you will BUILD effective tools, positively CHANGE your thoughts, control difficult emotions, choose healthy behaviors and GROW into a happier, authentic, resilient and confident self!

As a Certified Brainspotting Therapist dually licensed in mental health and substance abuse, we'll partner together to uncover the sources of your struggles and connect your past to your present in order to improve your future. I bring my most authentic self with values of kindness, empathy, honesty and communication while compassionately guiding you.

I'm incredibly grateful my career path involves doing something I love - joining others on a journey to live their best life! My goal is for you to feel comfortable with YOUR next step. I provide a free 15-min. phone or in person consult. You will be met with an empathic, compassionate and non-judgmental approach to helping you grow into your best self!
