I focus on healing the wounds that have created internal negative "stories" about ourselves and the world to help people reconnect with their original creative, powerful, loving selves. Clients learn stress reduction and self-nurturing techniques to support themselves on the journey through processing trauma and throughout their lives. As clients heal from the past, they then learn new ways to communicate and interact effectively with others and to create the lives they wish to live.

Starting therapy—whether for the first time or returning—takes courage. Just browsing profiles, reading bios, and deciding to share your story with someone new is a powerful step. It’s an act of hope: trusting that someone can help you make sense of things, hold space for your experience, and walk alongside you as you move forward. My approach to therapy is centered on helping you reconnect with what matters most—your values, relationships, recovery, or dreams—and move toward them with clarity and purpose.

I believe that we all have strengths and are capable of lasting change. "Flaws" that we see in ourselves are typically adaptive reactions and self-protective in nature. The more we understand the mechanisms at play, the more we can surrender what no longer serves us. By renewing the mind and spirit (increasing insight, self-awareness, and self-acceptance), we can move toward transformational and authentic connection with ourselves and others.
