When my clients first reach out to me, they typically have tried many strategies on their own. They are dealing with conditions and challenging life events such as anxiety, depression, betrayal, illness, grief, loss, divorce, family issues, life transitions, or trauma. They feel overwhelmed, and while they know they want relief, finding their way forward has become difficult. I help my clients clarify goals, outline steps forward, and leverage their strengths to create the lasting change they seek.
Through psychotherapeutic techniques such as contemplative practices, Accelerated Resolution Therapy, creative expression, and somatosensory methods, my clients experience relief and renewal. I have completed Multidimensional Partner Model Trauma training to address the unique needs of those experiencing betrayal through infidelity or pornography addiction.
When life takes a detour, we can feel disoriented and lost. This can impact work, relationships, identity, and self-esteem. We are not meant to travel life alone. Letting someone who understands accompany you can help you get back in the driver's seat of your life again.

My clinical training & life experience have given me a well of compassion for what my clients are going through. They tell me they feel seen & understood. They trust me with the deepest parts of themselves and this is sacred ground. My clients report increased self-awareness, self-acceptance, improvement in communication and boundary setting, and a reduction in anxiety and stress.

I embrace the body/mind/spirit connection to reduce stress, build resilience, & help clients anchor themselves in difficult times. The first session, we explore what brought you to therapy & how psychotherapy involving mindfulness, somatosensory awareness, & creative expression can provide relief. No art experience is necessary. Imagery is used to gain new insights and deepen self-connection.
