People who decide to work with me are looking for someone who they feel comfortable sharing with. Someone who understands them culturally. Someone who can restore hope, work with them to implement healthier thought patterns, increase desired behaviors and empower them. People who work with me want better for themselves but feel stuck.
I help my clients care for their whole self, addressing root causes and deepening awareness of factors and cognitions that maintain undesired states. Clinically I specialize in the treatment of Trauma, Anxiety & ADHD. As a Certified Integrative Nutrition Health Coach and Yoga Instructor I support people with their wellness goals including stress management &
preventing burnout as well as improving relationship with food. Other areas I work with are: life transitions, change and identity. My style is interactive, intuitive, warm, collaborative, and non-dogmatic. I work with my clients in a relationship oriented manner, attending closely to unique strengths, culture, cognitions and abilities.
