Hi! Welcome to my practice! The most important part of therapy is picking the right therapist, feeling comfortable and being able to build trust and a connection. You are your most vulnerable in therapy and I am here to help you work though difficult thoughts, feelings, and traumatic experiences. We will work together to explore your difficulties in life and seek healing so you can live a more fulfilling life. I look forward to talking with you!

I believe in the wisdom of the body. Lets face it, life is traumatic. I help to connect your mind and your body and addressing sadness and depression, anxiety and nerves, feeling disconnected or just feeling like you don't belong in society, or even inside yourself through imagery, art, sand-tray, movement, EMDR, and body awareness to connect in new ways.

I look forward to talking with you. If even if you don't feel I am the right therapist fro you it is always a brave step to reach out and make a phone call.
