You will receive the fastest response back by emailing me. Sometimes seeking support can often feel like an exposing and vulnerable process, yet it doesn't have to be. Unpacking deep-rooted patterns and beliefs takes time, and can happen when we feel safe enough to disclose to others. I value connection and relationship in my practice, and aim to create a space where that processing can truly happen. I assist clients in identifying their patterns and core beliefs, and skills to regulate their emotions while focusing on their goals.

An avid believer in personal growth, I work intuitively with clients as a hypnotherapist, and teach methods that aid in shifting negative behavior patterns, associated issues and unresolved emotions.

The subconscious mind and emotional body has the answers and is key to healing everything from health issues to blockages to living a more stress, anxiety and worry free, healthier, happier, grounded life. Become a better version of yourself, get insights into your issues, realize your potential. It starts with you! Strategize, take charge of your life now, and reap the many rewards.

Looking for someone to help you through a situation that feels too big or too hard to tackle on your own? Well, you do not have to do it alone. We all have times in our life when we feel overwhelmed and need help finding our way. The first step in your healing journey is to reach out and ask for help. This can feel scary sharing your challenges with someone else and yet it can be just the thing you need, to know you are not alone. We are wired for connection and healthy connection is tremendously important to our health and happiness. So remember it is healthy to ask for help because we're not meant to do it alone.

I look to hold an affirmative space as I work with individuals, honoring each persons complex and diverse backgrounds, identities, and histories. I aim to foster spaces where everyone feels valued, supported and inspired to achieve their vision for life. I recognize that each individual identifies in their own unique way and I look forward to meeting you where you are.
