Does it sometimes feel like your emotions are all over? One minute you are angry, then sad, and the next you’re numb. You feel un-tethered from your life and disconnected from friends, family, and self. You are lacking motivation and self-esteem and you don't know why. And you just want to understand, "Why does life seem so easy for everyone else?" If this all sounds familiar, I can help. I welcome the opportunity to help you feel more empowered to create the life you long for, with deeper connections, confidence, and clarity!

Let me provide you with nurturing guidance and compassion to help you harness and understand your emotions. Together, we’ll work to understand the impact that your early experiences still have on your life today. As you gain a better understanding and appreciation of yourself, you’ll regain the confidence to embrace your future.

Rediscover the innate power and strength you’ve had inside all along. Learn to manage your thoughts and emotions so you can be the best version of yourself. I can’t wait to join you on this journey of self-discovery, and encourage you along the way. Call me now for your free consultation, and let’s get started today.

If you are struggling with childhood trauma, we will begin therapy by exploring early-childhood relationships and experiences to uncover how they impact you now. Additionally, we will work on the body and mind connection and develop coping skills that work for you. Through this process you will begin to understand yourself and come to feel more confident and empowered.

My approach to therapy is client-centered, meaning, together we will collaborate on the goals you want to achieve, based on what you share in therapy. And based on these goals, we will address them with the type of therapy that is best suited for you. For example, if you have anxiety or depression we may use mindfulness CBT, for childhood trauma we may use Attachment Theory or EMDR.
