We all have moments in life when circumstances just become overwhelming. Most often we bounce back on our own & get back to a state of normalcy. However, there are times when life throws so much at us, it is more than we can handle on our own. It takes such a toll on our emotional and physical health that we can't seem to just ‘shake it off.’ In these times, we often struggle to find effective treatment that will get us recalibrated and back to living our best lives. At Body Psychology, we believe in nurturing both the mind and body, providing tailored support to help our clients achieve balance, healing & lasting well-being.

I am a licensed mental health counselor with over 6 years of experience providing mental health services to individuals from widely diverse backgrounds, with varying symptoms and diagnoses. Throughout the past couple of years, I have been predominately working with women (adults and teens) who experience anxiety, trauma/PTSD, mood disorders, and interpersonal and intrapersonal challenges. While many of the clients I support have experienced trauma, particularly in some form of abuse, I am equipped to work with clients with a wide range of additional concerns, as well.

NO WAIT list. EMDR and IFS. You know the importance of finding someone who lets you take your time, respects your emotional development and upholds your dignity. I like showing up to every session with the patience and presence to ensure you experience those things. You also know that growth looks different for each of us. Your barriers as well as your strengths are uniquely yours. It is a difficult but deeply rewarding experience to learn about and accept those things about ourselves. I live for the joy and challenge of the discovery process.

Working as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist is more than a profession or career choice for me. I recognize this as a true calling. I believe that most people want to live their "best possible life". They just need someone to join them on their life journey to help them become the best possible version of themselves. There is hope for every seemingly hopeless situation. Many times individuals just need a space to feel heard. I would love the opportunity to walk along with you as you discover there is hope and resources available to help you reach your personal goals.

Having the willingness to bring yourself into the counseling room and sharing your deepest hurts with a stranger can be extremely difficult. Coming in with the openness and desire to get better without knowing how it is all going to work takes a lot of courage. A desire to get better is where it starts, the next step is showing up and allowing yourself to be vulnerable. I know it's scary, but you won't be walking this road alone. My job is to stand alongside you and help guide the steps to healing.
