Real lasting positive change is possible. And it doesn’t have to take the rest of your life. Whether you want to improve your relationships, feel better about yourself, finally quit your addiction(s), resolve anxiety or depression, or heal pain from the past, I provide professional therapy for real healing, growth, and change. Sometimes this means learning to create greater safety inside – more kindness and less criticism. Sometimes it's about becoming more embodied, grounded, and present. Sometimes it’s about going back into the past to heal what was hurt. It's different for everyone, but possible for anyone.
With nearly 18 years in practice, I've helped people from all walks of life make big changes and feel better. I use a blend of somatic methods, IFS Therapy, and energy psychology. People who like working with me tell me it’s because they appreciate my warmth, sincerity, and distinctive approach to therapy.
You don't have to stay stuck. Contact me and let's work together to find solutions. You can find out more about me and what I do on my website. I also offer free consultations so you can get a sense of how I work and if it feels right for you.
