Are you having difficulty maintaining a strong connection with yourself? Do you often experience feelings of shame, guilt, judgement, or self-doubt that affect you physically? Therapy has been a crucial tool for me in improving my self-awareness, confidence, and trust in myself. It has helped me to identify my true self, embrace my authenticity, and move forward with courage. As my self-compassion has increased, my mind-body connection has begun to harmonize, and I have found it easier to self-regulate. I believe that everyone has the potential to improve their mind-body connection, leading to a more fulfilling life and happiness.

With assistance and support there can be healing and an increased level of awareness to self and the environment. You can feel better about yourself, and thrive in your relationships.

Changes in relationships, starting a family, navigating a breakup, leaving for college, changing careers, or unexpected situations, to name a few- could elicit discomfort that makes us feel stuck, anxious, and/or depressed. Navigating life might feel difficult due to the uncertainties but we do not have to continue to feel this way.

Together, we will discover these tools, find tangible ways to achieve your goals, and gain clarity about the unknown while exploring your strengths and building resiliency toward healing and empowerment.

To facilitate this process, I combine my professional knowledge and experience for treating anxiety, chronic worry, depression, and relationship issues, with empirically supported treatments that work, like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Therapy.
