We live in powerful times, filled with much opportunity and yet so much pressure to succeed that it can be difficult to navigate our personal challenges amidst the demands that come with it. We want to feel connected, whole, and in our purpose, but often feel separate, isolated, and fragmented instead. In order to heal, awareness, compassion and courage are needed to meet the painful spaces and shed light on our shadows, transforming them into opportunities for more presence, fulfillment and joy. I aim to empower the healer within you. As we heal, we serve ourselves and the world around us for the better.
My approach is holistic and relational, warm and engaging. I believe in the power of deep listening, empathy and mirroring to offer healing. I also believe in the power of skillful practice to build a solid foundation of emotional and psychological wellbeing. When we meet the harder places with both compassion and commitment to change, we grow.
I offer skills and techniques to empower you to integrate healing into your daily life. My approach includes the frameworks of Mindfulness, CBT, DBT, Somatic Therapy, IFS, Polyvagel Theory, Emotional Freedom Technique, Psychodynamic and Transpersonal perspectives. I respect your courage to seek support on this path and I'm here to connect with you.
