I am always grateful for the opportunity to share in the stories of people’s lives and help them identify the goals they wish to achieve to create the next chapters of their lives.
I love working with people across all ages who are motivated to do introspection and identify new ways to think about themselves and their future.
I believe our sense of belonging and connectedness affects the stories we live by.
I specialize in trauma-informed therapy, EDMR, adolescent distress, attachment issues, couple's work, adoption, mood disorders, family dynamics, grief, relationships, parenting skills, anxiety, depression, women’s issues, spirituality, emotional regulation, and other life stressors.
If you are carrying a negative belief about yourself, and you are ready to change the narrative, perhaps we will make a great team!
