I specialize in an integration of mind and body approaches for working with personal and relationship change. This might include learning mindful awareness practices, self-compassion, stress-reduction skills and approaches for working with negative thoughts and emotional reactivity. These practices are very helpful for clients working with issues such as anxiety, panic disorder, post-traumatic stress symptoms, depression, relationship issues, stress-related physical problems and life transitions. I work with couples to support improved communication, conflict resolution, reduced reactivity and improved emotional connection.

Being a teenager in today's society is quite a journey. Do you ever feel hopeless when trying to figure out how to help your teen or preteen navigate their big emotions and social struggles? Has your teen lost motivation and connection with others and is no longer finding enjoyment in things they used to love? Being the parent of a teenager is no small feat, especially when they have lost their confidence and self identity. I have dedicated the last 6 years to helping teens, pre-teens, and their parents navigate this delicate time within life development.

A flower begins as a humble seed nestled in darkness, its growth unseen, yet transforming. Navigating the twists and turns of life can be slow and taxing. We find ourselves adrift in a sea of should's and should-nots, unsure of how to act, feel, love, or simply be. Society often imposes its expectations upon us, creating a disconnection from our true selves and from others. These pressures can lead to a relentless pursuit of perfection that leaves us feeling inadequate and exhausted. Together, we can foster a strong sense of self-compassion, appreciate the genuine beauty of your personal growth, and letting it unfold naturally.
