I have a belief that the core of bettering our performances in sports, careers, and relationships is to have deeper understanding and likeness of who we are. I think our human struggles are often fueled in power by disconnects between our innate ability, our potential, and our internal dialogue that tells us a lot about how well our brains and bodies are connecting, and a lot about how much we believe in the first two. You know yourself better than anyone ever could, and I want you to trust in that. I am here to help guide you into believing in and accessing what you already know.

I believe in a holistic, mind, body, and spirit connection to therapy. I’ve found my purpose by guiding others to healing from Trauma, Attachment Issues, Relationship Issues, Family Origin issues, Self-Esteem, Grief, and many others. My ideal client is someone who is willing to be a co-creator in their journey. Someone who is willing to do the work as an investment in themselves. I want to encourage my client to be the validation that they are seeking in others. With Trust as a key component, you will build trust in yourself and in turn within others. This allows us to cultivate long-lasting and meaningful relationships.

Sometimes we are temporarily knocked off the track by a catastrophic event or ongoing life situation that appears to be hopeless or unsolvable. These roadblocks, however, can be overcome with will, good support and the right tools necessary to change our attitudes and life circumstances so that life works for us, not against us, once again.
