You deserve a compassionate therapist. Someone with whom you feel safe, secure and connected. Whether you are in college, a single parent, a busy professional, someone who has never experienced therapy before, please call for an initial consultation. My goal is to support you and guide you to live from your heart and authenticity.

My approach to therapy helps you access your best self, break old patterns and move into the life you want to have internally and in relationship to others and our society. Often times, you know in your heart-mind how you want to be in the world, but your body, emotions and societal patterns keep activating thoughts, behaviors or experiences that don't serve your highest self. Through paying attention to 'how' this programming happens, becoming mindful of what the triggers feel like, we can create pathways to change those patterns. Please contact me for a 15 minute connection call.

Quite often people are reluctant to admit to having problems. Life is difficult when your problems are long lasting and impair your ability to function adequately in the world ie at work, school or in the home. Life is difficult when you can't seem to maintain satisfying, safe relationships w/others. You may feel that there's something wrong with you or that you just aren't ever going to be able to have the kind of life you want. And it's not for lack of trying. Perhaps you just don't know what to do. All that you have tried to do seems to have failed and left you floundering, frustrated and feeling hopeless.
