Accepting new clients! I believe in embracing all parts of ourselves, especially when messy or imperfect. In therapy with me, you'll have the chance to get curious with yourself, reflect on relationships, tend to traumas with compassion, and navigate the complexities of life. My approach is trauma-informed and personalized to align with your unique wisdom, needs, and desires. Together, we will delve into feelings, behaviors, somatic experiences, family history, societal impact, inner narratives, and cultural values. We will actively process emotions, connect with our bodies, and practice additional tools for healing and regulation.

When we are faced with the common ebb and flow of life's challenges we sometimes cope in ways that may not serve our best-self, compromising our relationships, family, physical health, or career. This can leave us feeling out of balance, overwhelmed, and seeking a change. Through an integrative mind-body approach we will explore how the compromised aspects of your life impact you as a whole, while empowering you with tools and strategies to regain the balance you desire.

My intention as a therapist is to create an environment that is supportive, positive, and in which the client has both freedom of expression and freedom from judgment. My work is grounded in the principles of mindfulness, and utilizes meditation, cognitive behavioral strategies and biofeedback techniques. My approach to psychotherapy is practical: by addressing our patterns of thought and behavior we impact how we think, react and feel. Even small changes in these daily habits can improve wellness and bring clarity to concerns, goals, and ideas for more creative, sustainable approaches to living.
