Are you feeling drained by anxiety, overwhelmed by stress, or weighed down by depression? You don't have to carry that burden alone. I specialize in helping my clients move from being trapped by anxiety and self-criticism to peace and self-support using a heart/mind approach focused in mindfulness and positive psychology. My goal is to create a space where you can feel safe, seen, and understood. Together, with respect and curiosity, we will get to the root of your problems so that we can create lasting change.
I work with anxiety, stress, depression, emotional regulation, and more using traditional approaches combined with proven mindfulness and compassion-based approaches. Together, we'll cultivate a kind, supportive relationship with yourself, enabling you to navigate life's challenges with greater ease, resilience, and inner peace.
By developing self-kindness and non-judgmental awareness, you will build the inner resources needed to work with strong emotions like fear and anxiety, even anger, we can harness the strength we need to stand for ourselves and those we care about without losing heart. Together, we will explore your personal goals to help you create the life you want.

I use a combination of cognitive, mindfulness, and compassion based therapies to help my clients grow the awareness, wisdom, and strengths to carry them through for a lifetime. There is no one "perfect" approach to all issues, so spending time exploring your values, strengths, and goals is an important part of our sessions.
