Dark thunderstorms are hard to see out of. Especially, when you feel you are alone or worse is feeling lost. When finding your way back to you, adversity does not have to be limiting; it is a resource. Being ready for something different or for things to change is very scary. Except look at all the pain you have already been through. That alone has prepared you for what is next. It is humble to ask for help and although this can feel uneasy just know that you are stretching yourself and that is what gets you results. This work to me is sacred, and if ready then I am grateful to be HEAR for you.

Sometimes life has you saying this — is bananas. No matter how small or big the issue, reaching out for help can make all the difference in helping us to deal with whatever life throws our way. I believe that counseling has the ability to set people free, help them to find peace, reconnect, and can open their eyes to the infinite possibilities there are when we take the time to invest in ourselves, our relationships, and our overall well-being.

Are you tired of feeling trapped by trauma, caged by depression, and riddled with panic? Do you know your brain and body have the capacity to unlearn maladaptive responses to trauma and embrace positive emotions, cognitions, and behaviors? I am ready to work with clients who are ready to challenge automatic trauma responses, change maladaptive behavior patterns, and embrace self-empowerment to create peace and healing on their transformative journey of self-revival. For a moment breathe and imagine the life you deserve with self-love, healthy boundaries, and the tools to navigate flourishing relationships. It's time for revival!

Are you struggling to let go of habits, relationships, jobs, beliefs, or hobbies that no longer serve you? Are you grieving the loss of an important person, career, or relationship? Are you caught up in a pattern or reaching for people, food, substances, or social media to change the way you feel? At the end of the day, chronically reaching for things to change feelings is nothing more than an attempt to self-regulate; which evolves into an obsession and then a compulsion. If you’re unsure what self-regulation means, how to do it, or just want some more skills to add to your tool box I’m here to help.

Psychotherapy is a collaborative journey that is rooted in a foundation of trust and connection between client and therapist. My practice is grounded in providing a safe, supportive, non-judgmental, therapeutic relationship with you. Operating from a strength based perspective, I hold the deeply held belief that you have the innate wisdom to heal yourself. We all do. My role is to assist you in identifying your unique strengths and provide support and guidance on your path. In collaboration, we will uncover the unconscious and conscious thoughts and beliefs you hold that may be contributing to dis-ease.

My intention as a therapist is to empower individuals be in tune with their deepest truths and to relate to life in a more authentic way. By providing a warm environment, I hope my clients feel safe to express what matters to them. My therapeutic approach is strongly influenced by more than 12 years of a dedicated meditation practice. I utilize mindfulness and somatic approaches in supporting people to become more aware of their thoughts, feelings, and body sensations. In doing so, I trust that our ability to welcome our experience creates possibilities for healing and ultimately to cultivate a "life worth living."
