"Therapy with me is a collaborative process, where we will work together to discover what is true for you. As we uncover your unconscious beliefs and relational patterns, you will develop greater awareness and capacity which will allow you to make different choices in your relationships, experience increased self esteem, and ease feelings of depression and anxiety. I can support you in leaning into creative blocks, reclaiming your voice, unearthing your gifts, and stepping more fully into your desire. Additionally, I offer eco-therapy sessions outside, where we can incorporate the power of nature into our work together."

"People seek therapy for different reasons. Some are hoping for relief from a specific problem such as depression, anxiety or relationship difficulties. Others may have a general sense of not feeling as alive as they imagine they could. They would like help understanding this feeling and are seeking a richer, deeper, more fulfilling life. In psychotherapy we engage in a process of self discovery in which people learn about themselves and about the ways they have been blocked from feeling fully in touch with themselves and others in their lives."

"I founded Be Love Community Counseling to provide safe, healing space for people that have been oppressed, marginalized or have an identity outside of the "dominant culture." Historic trauma and past hurts may show up as depression, anxiety, anger management issues, low self-esteem, underachievement, oppositional behaviors etc. You may think that something is wrong with you while what you're experiencing may actually be a result of something that has happened to you or your ancestors. Therapy is empowering as you may increase awareness about what is keeping you from freedom to live the life you desire."

"As a psychologist and certified yoga instructor, I utilize dialogue and body-centered techniques to facilitate my clients' understanding and awareness of themselves at the physical and psychological level. For example, when we move more deeply into our awareness of our bodies and our breath, we can experience a shift in our way of thinking about ourselves, our world, and our relationship to one another. Likewise, through a deeper understanding of how our mind works, we find ourselves moving deeper into our bodies and experiencing more flexibility, balance, strength and well-being."

"For the past six years I have worked with children, teens and families. I love being a therapist, working with families is one of my greatest passions. I find the work incredibly rewarding. Adolescence is a time in life where we are trying to figure out who we are, what we like, and how to manage the ins and out of life. It is a time rich in transition. It can be confusing, painful and beautiful. I support and guide adolescents and their families through this journey with compassion, empathy and insight. When complications arise such as family, school or peer issues, more support is needed! I work with individuals & couples too. "
