Having difficulty with your relationships? Whether your challenge is based in your relationship with yourself or with others, this kind of conflict and the avoidance thereof can sometimes lead to symptoms of depression or anxiety. My approach to therapy is holistic and truth based. Embracing a lifestyle approach, I believe in employing simple everyday changes as a way to return your body to balance and repair the relationships that bring us peace. Our bodies and minds need many sources of nourishment to achieve optimal health and sustainable vitality.

Sometimes, life deals us an awful hand with so many wounds and hurts that we have no idea how we'll get through. We feel sad, anxious, overwhelmed, angry, depressed and don't know how to move forward with that emotion. We find ourselves stuck in the same patterns and don't know how to change them. Frequently, our relationships struggle as a result. I believe in becoming whole and healing from these wounds and hurts. I believe each person has innate characteristics that make this healing possible. In therapy, our goal is to remove these constraints that prevent you from accessing your core Self and create a life that feels lighter.
