Welcome. I believe that people make meaning of their lives through stories, and for various reasons, some stories get repeated over and over again while others remain untold. In therapy, we will look closer at your lesser-shared stories and what they mean to you. I believe that people aren’t problems. Rather, problems are proof that you’re standing for or against something you care about. Let’s explore the knowledge you hold about who you are, what you value, and what you hope for. I will meet you with curiosity and care to support your movement toward hope and meaningful change.

These challenges can so often negatively impact our relationships and sense of self worth, and my goal is to assist you in becoming your most authentic, liberated, and empowered self.

Neurotherapy/Neurofeedback is a form of treatment that allows one to modify their brainwave activity to improve attention, reduce impulsivity, and control hyperactive behaviors.

I offer a space where clients can delve into their thoughts, contemplate, and cultivate practical skills to handle sadness, anxiety, panic, pressure, and challenging situations.
