Life is not easy, and all of us go through difficult times, feel alone, or need support. I welcome my clients with unconditional acceptance, wherever they are in their lives and whatever they are feeling. Using Parts Work, I provide clients with tools to encourage and enhance their sense of well-being, and offer a compassionate, welcoming, nonjudgmental space to help them connect with their inner strength and wisdom.
Using a client-centered, relational approach to therapy with a focus on mindfulness, I help clients identify and challenge learned belief systems related to traumas and life experiences. With calmer nervous systems, we can attune to our own needs, deepen our understanding of ourselves, and address life’s challenges from a place of strength.
Change is possible. Whether you are struggling with life transitions, depression, anxiety, loss, past trauma, or relationship issues, we will work together to honor the path you've walked, while effectively making changes and creating new ways that serve you in creating the life that you want.
