Most people look to you for the answer and you usually have it. Solving problems isn't the issue for you; rather, you hide parts of yourself and you're wrestling with confidence, shame, loneliness, or anxiety. You may consistently seek the next hit of happiness or confidence, but it's fleeting. My goal is to help alleviate the issues you've carrying. We will look at various parts of yourself and find what's working and what's not to deepen insights and find pragmatic solutions, so you can live in more alignment. I have success helping clients improve relationships, understand their emotions and others, and live more authentically.
I strive to create a space that is non-judgmental by using humor, patience, and curiosity. I use a holistic lens to understand all aspects of you impact you today to identify unhelpful patterns. I pull techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Polyvagal to help you move into helpful patterns needed so you can reach your most authentic self.
This process isn't easy-I hope you honor yourself as you go. And, if you want help with honoring yourself, we can talk it about it. If you are interested in working together, please reach out to schedule a free consultation call. We can game plan what therapy looks like for you; even if I'm not the therapist for you.

I work with clients, who may be feel disconnected or consistently tired. During the initial session, I gather information about your life. The intake helps to develop a plan and goals for therapy, in which we collaborate on throughout the course of your therapeutic journey. Then, we start to delve into the what's most important to provide the relief sought.

I conceptualize using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). CBT looks at how your feelings, thoughts, and behaviors impact each other. Additionally, I like to understand how your body and other factors may interact with the pattern. I help clients, so they can face and understand the overwhelming emotions felt by providing tangible support while still going to the roots of the issue at hand.
