I am devoted to enacting positive change by connecting with, supporting, and empowering individuals. Throughout my journey, I have been drawn to people, felt the impact of the human experience, and have learned many lessons along the way. I consider myself a student of life, constantly learning from experiences and people; as I continue to draw breath, I will continue to learn. Perhaps the most poignant lesson I have learned thus far, is each person has the inherent power to create and live the life of his/her choosing. Your perfect life can only be designed by you.

All people experience hardships that can put them in a rut or lead to burnout. Whatever stressor you may be facing, my goal is to use a trauma-informed, holistic lens to work with you to better understand and accept your emotions, introduce new perspectives, and create steps toward change using your unique strengths. One of the most essential components of therapy is ensuring that you feel safe and comfortable to open up about your innermost feelings and beliefs. I strive to make you feel accepted and empowered to express your needs and create tailored goals in treatment using a collaborative approach.

My clients are adults looking for help with depression, anxiety and relationship issues. Some wish to have more freedom and joy, and less fear in life. I'm trained in psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral and Focusing approaches. I also use Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) which helps clients reach and articulate their helpful, deeper emotions (like healthy anger & grief), to transform unhelpful emotions (like fear & shame) carried over from the past.
