Welcome! The focus of my practice is to work in partnership with my clients to help build resilience and facilitate positive change. Fostering kindness and compassion with a mindfulness based approach is at the heart of my work. I provide a safe and nurturing environment in which to explore options, and also offer the respect, understanding and empathy that encourages exploration and growth. As an experienced therapisr, I can assist with clarifying, setting and maintaining your specific goals, as well as provide a space for self-exploration.I will be there to accompany and collaborate with you on your unique journey.
My area of expertise lies in the arena of Acute/Complex Trauma, Grief and Loss, Psycho-Spirituality and the LGBTQ+ Community. I weave Somatic approaches into most therapy sessions finding that the mind-body connection hold the greatest value in healing and personal growth. Additionally I utilize modalities of CBT, Mindfulness, Attachment Theory and EMDR.
I value genuine collaboration with my clients. My style is warm and encouraging.I believe the most important things that I bring to my clients are my heart, my humor, my understanding, knowledge, experience and ever-present willingness to listen. I welcome the opportunity to be on this path with you and will bring my truest self to our sessions.
