Times of chaos, confusion, and challenge are opportunities for a shift in perspective and meaningful, long-lasting change. We don't often have a choice about challenging circumstances but we do get to choose how we respond and whether or not we grow stronger from the experience! Using a blend of traditional "talk therapy" and alternative therapies (such as mindfulness, somatic awareness, and creative expression) we collaborate for my clients' restoration of their natural wellness in mind, body, and spirit. I can help you become your best self!

I am trained to target emotional experiences to activate internal healing and external connection. I assist couples by facilitating an environment that safely moves folks towards security in self and towards one another in vulnerability so that bonding can replace the need for self-preservation. With individuals, I welcome all parts of each person as one establishes security in and expansion of self which helps parts of self recognize: "parts cope, self heals." I view people as "stuck" and not "sick," and therefore I believe just as there is a healer in me, there is a healer in you.

I strive to foster a safe, affirming and supportive therapeutic environment, and view therapy as a collaborative process in which the client is the expert. I am curious and observant, vulnerable and honest and I look forward to walking alongside you through your therapy journey. I encourage you to experiment with new behaviors that could help you embrace your thoughts and feelings rather than fighting or feeling guilty for them and begin to engage in your life through making choices that move you toward your values.

I take a highly relational, evidence-based approach to therapy. As a trained social worker, I consider the systems that shape and hold a person as inextricable to their mental wellbeing. I believe individuals can only be understood, and cases only conceptualized, within their environmental context.

Do you find yourself missing your spark? Do you find that your moods have control over your life? Do you find yourself in this never-ending cycle of shame and trying to escape through unhealthy ways? Many people have found themselves stuck in this story and feeling numb to it all. This can rob you of joy and take away your spark. I think one of the bravest things you can do is to begin to understand your story. Using a strength- based and collaborative approach, I can offer you the space to rewrite your story into one of empowerment and resilience.
