Our thoughts, beliefs and bodies reflect our emotional struggles. We often come to therapy when old ways of coping aren't working anymore- when we long for comfort, relief, or more authentic and deeper connections in our relationships. The whole person needs to be addressed in times of crisis, transition and loss. Healing is a word derived from the German hailjan- “to make whole.” I work with a holistic, acceptance-based and contemplative approach to psychotherapy. Practicing self-compassion and self- acceptance lead to less reactivity and more peaceful, integrated and intentional lives.

I believe one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story. Maybe you have struggled with making sense of your childhood and you have reached a point in your life where you need help moving forward. I’m here to support you. My approach is collaborative and non-judgmental. I want you to feel you can share what feels impossible, and perhaps what has weighed you down for so long time. I work with adults who have experienced childhood abuse and trauma and are ready to reach out for support.

Struggling with anxiety and depression can be exhausting. Whether you have coped for a long time or a new situation has emerged, the sensations connected to feelings can seem overwhelming. The knot in your stomach, tension gripped shoulders, tightening up, shrinking in, weighted down, these are all embodied experiences of anxiety and depression. This is where I join in, meeting your feelings on a body level. If you are seeking a creative, body and movement based way to find more ease, or have been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease and want a movement oriented therapy, dance/movement therapy might be for you.

Sometimes life isn’t easy ! As a matter of fact life can be extremely demanding. Daily stress, life pressures and complicated pasts can make us feel unbalanced and overwhelmed. More times than not, things like stress, anxiety, anger and sadness are normalized yet they impact our emotional wellbeing and relationship with others. We often sacrifice our self-care by not prioritizing our own needs in order to fulfill demanding roles which often leave us unfulfilled. You are not alone ! Empowering others to develop a stronger sense of self has always been my passion.
