My therapeutic approach is open, warm, compassionate, and curious. I integrate Psychology and Buddhism and believe a holistic approach that attends to body, mind, and sprit is crucial to healing. Foundational to my practice is the idea that a deep wisdom resides within all of us. I strive to co-create a safe space where individuals can explore the lightest and darkest aspects of self without the self-judgment and criticism so prevalent in our culture. When trauma and pain are witnessed and individuals feel seen and understood, wisdom can prevail so that one can heal, while recognizing and actualizing their potential and chosen path.

I draw from experience in various therapeutic approaches including Neuro Affective Relational Model therapy (NARM), Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Hakomi.
When we don't feel our best, it is a challenge to fully engage with life and unleash our true potential. Life transitions, grief, trauma, depression and other stressors can leave us stuck and feeling like the life we truly want to live is out of reach. It is my firm belief each of us has the power inside to heal and transcend these types of limitations. Through compassionate, supported inquiry, we can dismantle the blocks that keep us from our most deeply held desires. I am here to assist in that process. Through a holistic approach that honors the mind, body and spirit, I am dedicated to helping you move forward.

My approach to therapy is grounded in Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy and other trauma-informed interventions like Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).
I believe strongly in the resilience of people, and that a healthy therapeutic relationship can promote trust, healing, and personal growth. I believe that successful therapy is predicated on having a strong therapeutic alliance; the connection and collaborative relationship between the client and therapist. Taking a strength-based perspective, I listen deeply and reflectively to sustain a non-judgmental and safe environment. I am passionate about helping clients fully process past experiences and thrive in relationships with themselves, others, and the world around them.

Hello everyone, please welcome and allow me to first begin in thanking you. The choice to start therapy isn’t always easy, sometimes it is the most difficult thing to do is to even consider it, then admit you want/need it before even taking the steps to start, but you are not alone on this journey. Perhaps there has been times that you have found yourself feeling stressed, down, lacking confidence, or stuck in a pattern that no longer serves you. Perhaps you’re ready to take steps toward changes but feel stuck or unsure where to start. Or even feeling lost in your relationships in life or even disconnected from them.

Family Systems Therapists
Family Systems therapists view problems within the family as the result not of particular members' behaviors, but of the family's group dynamic. The family is seen as a complex system having its own language, roles, rules, beliefs, needs and patterns. The therapist helps each individual member understand how their childhood family operated, their role in that system, and how that experience has shaped their role in the current family.
