You are looking for guidance and support to help you get out of the stuck place you are in right now. You have tried many different things, but keep getting the same result. You are ready for change. I am passionate about helping you find what is holding you back from living your wholesome life. Ultimately, empowering you to take your life back, realizing that you matter and you are in control of your life choices and relationships. Together we can heal your heart and mind and restore your soul. I work with individuals and couples, where I am trained in Gottman and Emotion Focused Therapy.

I am passionate about holistic well-being, recognizing that mental health is closely interconnected with a person's physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects. I firmly believe that it is not always "what happened to us" that is the root cause for our issues and life challenges, but it can be caused by "what did not happen for us." I encourage clients to explore strategies that promote a balanced and fulfilling lifestyle, including exercise, nutrition, mindfulness, and creative self-expression.

Do you have recent trauma or loss? As a certified Brainspotting therapist, we can focus on releasing the painful emotions and reactions to recent trauma or loss that you no longer need dominating your life, if you're ready. These include grief (profound sadness, anger, shame, guilt, numbness and despair) anxiety, flashbacks, nightmares, and depression. The further back the trauma the more challenging it can be, however I try hard to be supportive and help achieve the change you want. I have worked with all kinds of trauma with compassion. I seek to help you achieve vitality, peace, confidence and wholeness in your body.

Are you ready to really live your life and not merely exist? You have within yourself the power to overcome any difficulties.

And the way we view them might keep us stuck and unfulfilled. I can help you notice those external and/or internal factors, identify patterns of thought and behavior, help you neutralize them, and encourage positive change and growth.

Life seems to throw unexpected curves that seem to come out of nowhere and leave us feeling burnt out, overwhelmed, and disconnected from ourselves, others, and the world around us. Regardless of where you are in life, my goal is to provide a space where you can feel understood, supported, & empowered. While it may be tempting to delay starting therapy, the first steps are easier than you realize. I can help you explore difficult emotions, strengthen relationships with yourself and others, and develop healthy communication skills, boundaries, and coping skills.
