We all experience difficulties and pain as part of being human. However, when you're in the thick of it, the path forward can seem terrifying, unclear or out of reach. I help clients to connect with their emotional wisdom in order to find clarity and make changes that support their healing.
Unlike many cognitive approaches, our work together will help you to pay close attention to your emotional self. We will look at ways you've protected yourself or others over time, and how you experience and relate to your emotions. We will identify whether old ways of being still serve you today.
If my profile resonates with or you're curious about where this journey could lead you, I encourage you to reach out. I look forward to connecting.

My practice draws heavily on mind-body therapy techniques, helping to bridge the gap between your logical brain and emotional self. I use techniques that help people to access the emotions underneath things like anxiety, depression, pain, etc.
