Are you hoping for change, but feel stuck and keep hitting a wall? Are you an adolescent, adult, family, or a Mother in her motherhood journey? You may benefit from a holistic approach to psychotherapy, which considers the heart (emotions), mind (thoughts), body, and soul, and how they interact with each other. You might need a gentle and compassionate approach to work through hard things (past, present, and future). If life is overwhelming and leaving you drained, you deserve to have a more life-giving and abundant life.
Through a trauma-focused lens and a strong therapeutic alliance, we can take active steps toward change. I specialize in anxiety, trauma, and maternal and paternal mental health. By using a variety of helpful interventions, we bring to light what was once in the darkness, losing its grip on you, leading you step by step into more freedom.
A connoisseur of play, I enjoy board games, tea, books, swimming, hiking, biking, and surfing. More than all of that, I value my faith, family, and friends. Nothing has challenged, refined, and humbled me more than my journey to become and be a mother. No matter the season you are in, you don't have to walk through it alone.
