Are you seeking transformation in some aspect your life but aren't sure what it is or how to move forward?
Underlying fears, beliefs and thought patterns we often don't even know we have can cause us to feel stuck in ways of being that are no longer serving us.
Most of us learned to see ourselves and the world through someone else's perception rather than our own. My intention as a therapist is to empower you in discovering and healing your self-limiting beliefs, so that you can decide what gets to be true for you and live your life from that place of freedom.

My guiding principle as a therapist is that we are put on this Earth to fully enjoy and participate in life. I have several years experience working as a social worker and educator in several different capacities and contexts. My practice focuses on how family of origin paradigms as well as other life experiences, can keep us from reaching our full potential in life and how becoming aware of these can free us to become more fulfilled human beings.

My worldview and psychotherapeutic aim is heartful benevolence, and I uphold the innate worth and dignity of all people. I welcome you to the journey home to your authentic self. Many clients come to me with suffering around patterns of anxiety, depression, and addiction, as well as dissatisfactory patterns in their relationships and work life. Many clients have never 'been heard' before, have lost touch with themselves, and doubt their own capacity to be well and to thrive in their lives. Some clients have severe trauma, and have difficulty being 'in' their own bodies. Many clients are caught in cycles of emotional reactivity.

Starting is often the hardest part. We all want to have someone listen to us; someone to understand where we have been, where we want to go & help us find a way to get there.
