If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, loss, relationship or family conflict and have been hesitant to try therapy or return to therapy, please feel free to reach out for help navigating these difficulties. We all have times in life when it would be beneficial to talk through and process challenging life events with a trained professional who is non-judgmental, empathic and firmly believes in an individual's internal wisdom towards healing when provided the right resources. Often life has a way of throwing us curveballs. It helps to have another person participate alongside us as we figure out how best to cope.

I believe so much healing comes from a strong therapeutic relationship. I prioritize creating a safe, trusting connection, with safety in experiencing feelings before processing traumas. I use a mix of approaches including IFS, EMDR, emotion-focused, attachment-focused, and somatic therapy. I also integrate creative approaches like sand tray, art, and play.
