I believe everyone has an innate strength and resilience, an authenticity that is limited only by inaccurate beliefs and interpretations of life struggles and challenges. My work with clients is geared toward identifying and removing those blocks to create space for the authentic self to flourish. I counsel individuals, couples , and families wishing to work through past or current trauma, or struggles with day-to-day challenges.

I believe that healing comes from a holistic approach that considers mind, body, and spirit. I focus on a collaborative relationship where we prioritize safety and trust. A metaphor that helps to encapsulate this process is that you have the map and I have the flashlight. While you control where we go, I help us to explore and go deeper into your internal world so we can better understand your experiences. By understanding and connecting to our internal world we are better equipped to make decisions about our external world. I help facilitate this process through a down-to-earth approach and a focus on mind-body connection.

*Not currently accepting new clients* Counseling is the practice of self-reflection and exploration in which people examine their sense of self and how they interact with the world.
