Examining life is like inspecting a car, each part — the engine, wheels, and brakes, are components interacting to ensure smooth operation. Changes in one part affect the entire driving experience, much like shifts and challenges in specific aspects of our lives impact our overall functioning. As a holistic-based therapist with a focus on a systems theory lens, I approach therapy by considering the entirety of the individual. Acknowledging the interconnectedness of mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being, we will delve into multiple factors that can profoundly influence your overall health.

People who seek psychotherapy often describe feeling “stuck”. You might feel lethargic, restlessly idle, persistently overwhelmed or isolated. Perhaps you have noticed you are repeating self-destructive patterns of behaviors or relationships? You might be having trouble making progress towards life goals or are unable connect to feelings of interest, pleasure . . . joy. Wellness includes fundamental consideration of our physical bodies. How do you feel about your body? Do you listen and respond respectfully to its cues? Does your body's needs get equal attention in your busy days? Do you allow yourself to take up space?

Deciding to start therapy can be a challenging and vulnerable process. My goal as a therapist is to make each individual feel as safe and supported as possible with high levels of empathy, compassion, and genuineness. Throughout the therapy process, I value the importance of improving relationships, managing stress, and increasing the ability to identify and regulate emotions. In sessions, I emphasis the importance of processing core beliefs we hold towards ourself and the world, practicing daily mindfulness, and learning skills to effectively regulate our emotions. I also provide supervision for pre-licensed clinicians!
