Are you feeling overwhelmed and exhausted, both mentally and physically? As a therapist and health coach, I am trained to address both your mental health and physical health. As we make changes in your mindset and lifestyle choices, you will notice improvements in both your mental and physical health - they go hand in hand!
I am a licensed psychotherapist who blends traditional therapeutic techniques with the principles of functional nutrition. With a deep understanding of the mind-body connection, I specialize in helping clients address anxiety, depression, and other mental health challenges by considering the role that lifestyle plays in emotional well-being.
By incorporating nutritional guidance and lifestyle adjustments alongside evidence-based psychotherapy, I work holistically to create personalized treatment plans. My practice emphasizes healing from within, empowering clients to achieve greater emotional resilience, mental clarity, and overall vitality.
