Going through a life transition? Feeling stuck or depressed? If you’re experiencing emotional overwhelm, anxiety, depression, loss/grief, lack of self-confidence and self-worth or any kind of uncertainty about where you "belong", compassionate therapy can help you regain clarity and connection. My goal is to create a safe, compassionate space where we can work together to empower you to feel supported and confident every step of the way.
I bring over a decade of experience helping individuals with an integrative approach to wellness. We discuss cultural influences, how you feel nourished, rested, energized, supported and empowered in daily life. I hold a PhD in Counseling Psychology and a certification in HeartMath, evaluating the psychophysiological factors between the heart and brain.
Reaching out for therapy can feel difficult. If you’re here, you're likely ready to accept help and gentle guidance. I’m currently accepting new clients and would welcome the opportunity to hear from you. I encourage you take the first step and get your life moving in the right direction. You are not alone.
