I welcome anyone looking for deep personal growth and healing. If you are tired of just surviving, looking for relief from stress and emotional pain, and yearn for a path to your real potential, I use science-based techniques addressing the whole mind/body. I have a 3-pronged approach; #1 Trauma techniques integrate traumatic memory #2 Self-monitoring skills aid in mindful awareness of feelings and body reactions, #3 Self-regulating tools empower you to be the best you can be, to deal with the stressors of your life. As your control increases, confidence builds, and true healing begins.

If you are on this page you know that life has its challenges There is suffering. Each of us in our own way is working to rise above our pain. For each of us these challenges are different. Some of us struggle with anxiety, others depression, some struggle to find love, others to end it. There are challenging relationships, children, work. Perhaps more difficult there is: death, loss, trauma, perhaps psychiatric or chronic medical illness. There is no shame in struggle. This is being human. It is also human to overcome this suffering, and create a life that reflects your deepest hopes, embodies courage, feels peaceful.

From our families of origin through to our present day situations, we have collected unhelpful thought patterns that can impact our emotional state - our work in therapy is to exonerate ourselves from some of the burdens of our programming and learn to embrace who we really are.

My role is to help you find the best version of yourself and work with you so you may become that self. Additionally, I work from an integrative approach (when desired by the client) to use nutrition, physical health, and holistic approaches to help heal from the inside out.
