In a world which can pull a person away from themselves, it is of vital importance to get back into a healthy and honest relationship with yourself. When this alignment happens within self, one tends to find inner balance and life begins to fall into place. I believe that by providing an environment of listening, empathy, non-judgement and validation, a person can get in touch with who they are, who they want to be, how they feel, and what they think and believe. This is where healing begins. I will support you as you rediscover an empowered version of yourself and encourage you in what you need and want in life.

Maybe you want to learn to overcome your fear and anxiety; transform your inner critic into something more kind; begin healing from trauma; learn how to navigate life after the loss of a loved one; or explore and develop a better understanding of yourself and the many spectrums of identity. Regardless of your reason for seeking therapy, it tells me one very important thing, you are ready for a change.

Change can happen quickly, it is important that we make the time for ourselves to reflect and grow.

I help children and adults understand and heal from trauma and anxiety. Trauma can be complex, painful and difficult to navigate alone. It may often feel like things will always be the way they are now. In the counseling process, we will work together to understand trauma, its effects, and what we can do to make changes that work for you and your family. Once we learn about trauma together, we then build on your strengths and face the fear together to make the changes you want to make.

I am passionate about helping individuals on their path to self-discovery and leading a genuine and authentic life.

By incorporating meditation, relevant literature, art, and nature, I aim to create a holistic therapeutic experience. These elements enrich the exploration of subjective experiences, self-perception, and the profound aspects of existence.
