My mission is to help my clients build a fulfilling and joyful life by overcoming their shame, smallness, and fear. Like you, my clients struggled with depression and anxiety despite being hardworking, capable, and appear to have it all together. Life is hard. Sometimes the strongest among us, need a little help. You may have tried therapy before, but need to go deeper in your healing. You may fear this pattern is what life is supposed to be. It doesn't have to be. I provide a holistic and integrative approach to healing helping you overcome your challenges and live the life you want to live.

My approach to therapy is depth-oriented. While I do not believe that insight in and of itself is curative, I do believe it’s a necessary first step in the healing process. Once we gain insight into the roots of our problems, we can begin to respond intentionally when in a state of emotional flashback rather than automatically reacting with fight, flight, freeze or fawn. I believe in the power of truly feeling through our emotions and in creating a safe space for my clients to do just that. I believe the therapeutic alliance should be one that fosters self-discovery and healing in a safe, nonjudgmental, empathic environment.
