You want to quiet anxiety, soften shame, and speak to yourself with more kindness. Maybe perfectionism keeps you striving, midlife, parenthood, or a major shift has you redefining yourself, or old patterns keep showing up in your relationships. You're ready for calm, self-trust, and an inner voice that feels like a friend. Spirituality and intuition are welcome here, guided by your own beliefs, as I am open-minded. I also offer a six-week couples enrichment experience (great for premarital)—two live Zoom sessions plus your own portal of weekly activities with online support for healthy couples wanting even more connection.
With 20 years of clinical experience, I offer more than talk therapy — a brain-body approach that reaches the places words alone leave untouched. Together we use Brainspotting, parts work, guided imagery, heart-centered inner child hypnotherapy, and expressive arts to explore the patterns that shaped you and honor your inner wisdom.
I offer affordable private pay and flexible session formats, including therapy intensives—extended 3-hour sessions over one or several days that create real momentum in days rather than months. Intensives allow us to move past the weekly stop-and-start rhythm and stay inside the process while insights are still fresh. Seekers, dreamers, and mystics welcome.
