My approach stems from an integrative medicine lens, emphasizing the mind-body connection and its role in achieving optimal wellness. I support individuals and couples with physical and mental health concerns including anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship challenges, sexual abuse, chronic illness (special focus on GI diseases), and life transitions. Utilizing evidence-based treatments, such as humanistic-existential therapy, behavioral therapy, and somatic therapy, we will get to the root cause of mental distress and connect you to your innate capacity for personal growth.
As a warm and humorous therapist, I foster a safe, accepting space for clients to address their concerns, issues, and barriers. I lovingly empower individuals to take control of their lives and achieve their goals. My process aims to unearth potential through an exploration of values, character strengths, and life purpose, helping clients to gain clarity.
Life can get overwhelming at times and talking to someone can make a huge difference. I will meet you where you are, take time to learn about you, and personalize your therapy experience so it best supports your needs.
