My hope as a therapist is to work with the client to cultivate a safe and courageous space to begin to explore from a holistic lens (mind, body and spirit). We each come into this work through a unique context of intersecting identities and experiences that deserve to be honored. My work is trauma informed and I understand trauma as something that can be experienced interpersonally, generationally, and systemically. Creativity, compassion, and curiosity are central to my work as I also incorporate somatic understanding, expressive arts, and a person-centered approach that focuses on what you want to work on.

Are you at a place in your life where you are struggling to find your way? Does it feel like you’re constantly worrying about the future, weighing out your options, and trying to figure out what's next? Many of my clients come in seeking clarity on why they feel the way they feel, what's getting in the way of their goals, and how they have established patterns in behavior that no longer serve them. I work closely with my clients to explore the root of their problems, and identify obstacles serving as beliefs. In our work, we will identify your strengths, develop new ways of thinking, and cultivate a more fulfilling sense of self.

I help my clients separate their thinking from their feelings, to be able to see what is real from what they are feeling, that is, what is going on inside of them introduces an opportunity to live without anxiety, fears and depression. Feelings can be confused for reality and it is helpful to be able to recognize the difference. In today's world, I see clients who may change careers, positions, and life styles more often than one has in the past. To find one's place, meaning of life, comfort and personal best are ongoing life goals, one can achieve in a safe environment.

We are all doing the best we can with the tools we have been given. You are the expert of your own life but at some point we all get stuck and the tools that have gotten us to where we are stop working. I believe therapy is a place to explore and reflect on your journey thus far and learn how to move forward. Making big life choices, grieving a loss, navigating interpersonal conflict, facing the challenges of parenting, and coping with anxiety or depression are all easier with a guide by your side. ​There is no one-size fits all approach to therapy.

I have a firm belief that everyone can benefit from therapy. Whether you're going through a tough time, trying to manage symptoms that accompany a diagnosis, or simply wanting to better yourself, therapy can help. My therapeutic practices are grounded in a psychodynamic approach, allowing me to help you explore your emotions and find out how your life experiences have shaped who you are today. In addition, I use cognitive behavioral techniques, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness to help you engage in self-awareness and healthier thinking patterns. There is no "one size fits all" approach to therapy.

Asking for help can be tremendously challenging. Let me help you release the grip of suffering and rediscover your wisdom, truth, and joy. Sometimes we can be loath to give up old patterns and learned behaviors that we lean on regardless of the distress they can cause. In today’s perplex world, it can be easy to lose sight of our reality. We often end up ignoring or minimizing our issues rather than taking the time to process and speak about them. Whether it be a transitional time in your life, trauma, depression, anxiety, or simply the challenges of maintaining a sense of self, the most important thing you can do is seek support.
