My goal is to provide you with a safe, emotional space where you will feel comfortable, relaxed and know that you are being heard. I want you to be able to express yourself freely without any fear of judgement. Healing takes place when you are able to be open, honest and vulnerable. Throughout my practice, it has been an honor to help facilitate extraordinary transformation in the lives of my clients. Believe me when I say that, “Anything is possible,” as I have witnessed my clients overcome trauma, grief, depression, anxiety and hardcore drug addiction.

Our life journeys are unique to us all. New experiences are awaiting us in every new direction we take; I believe that there is never a wrong path. I base my therapeutic approach on the belief that we all are good at heart, worthy, and capable of making the right choices for ourselves. Even though we can't always choose what happens to us, we can choose how we respond. I believe the way we handle the tough things life throws at us - loss, hardship, adversity, rejection—is what defines each of us as a human.

Life can be difficult. At times our burdens take up what feels like too much space and energy in our day-to-day lives. Certain people might have an inordinate amount of sway over how you feel in a day (even when you don’t interact!). You might find yourself feeling negative, hypervigilant, or completely shut down. Perhaps you find yourself going back to certain memories you’d rather stop revisiting. These struggles are not due to a lack of personal strength or resilience on your part – they simply reveal that you are human, with human experiences and needs. And as a human, you have the right to ask for help when you need it.

Do you feel like you are stuck in past trauma, living a life that is out of alignment with who you want to be? Would you like to develop a greater understanding of how your nervous system functions so that you can release the past rather than continue to live from it? Are you looking to increase your capacity for self compassion? Are you curious about investigating trauma reprocessing modalities such as EMDR and Deep Brain Reorienting to facilitate a deeper level of healing? These are the concerns that I focus on in my practice and I would be honored to be a part of your healing journey.
