Do you struggle with regulating your emotions, overwhelm, C-PTSD/PTSD, grief, or a loss of a sense of who you are that is affecting your relationships and/or your ability to function? Do you feel exhausted, overwhelmed, and frustrated with getting through the day. Do you feel you have put in the work to heal, but there is no light at the end of the tunnel? Do you question if life could be more easeful and less stressful? Now more than ever we are talking about how our mental health affects not only our minds but our bodies and relationships, ultimately affecting our abilities to feel joy.
I believe it shouldn't be so hard to live joyfully. I have offered mind/body therapies for over 15 yrs and became a licensed therapist to blend mind/body practices with talk therapy. I start by understanding your story to create a holistic plan to achieve your goals. I offer somatic EMDR, trauma-informed care & therapeutic play so that you be seen & heard.
Creating more joy through validation & acceptance is my mission. I will guide you to living more authentically, with more self-acceptance by using your personal strengths & the skills we create together. Email/call today for a free consultation and we'll take the first step towards your healing journey together.

I use somatic and mindfulness approaches that focus on acceptance and strength. We are a mind (thoughts), a body (nervous system), and a soul (joy/emotions). All aspects are affected by our struggles; therefore all aspects should be addressed. I take non-pathological approach to mental health by focusing on personal strengths instead of "what's wrong."
