If you are someone who has found themselves struggling, whether it's with day to day stressors or significant life changes/events, I want to help you through it! I am passionate about helping individuals work through and navigate the impacts of trauma and stress on every day life and relationships, while simultaneously exploring the mind/body connection with creative arts and somatic movements. This offers a unique and holistic approach to therapy that is unlike traditional talk therapy and brings you as a whole self to the process of healing.

Our life's work is helping clients achieve a better sense of self and happiness...more recently we've recognized that without good mental health providers, finding this balance in life can be more difficult and stressful. As a result, we tend toward an Integrative approach and help our clients transform into the people they want to be. We see each client as an individual with many parts to their identity. Utilizing a holistic and systemic approach we help clients reintegrate the parts of themselves to function better as individuals and within their systems. Our focus tends toward a systems based approach using behavior methods.

Whatever you're facing, when you're in therapy with me, you can bring your mess. No need to have it together, or know where to begin. Your therapy is customized to you, so it starts with learning your story and understanding your needs. Then, we work together toward the changes you want to see.

Stuck in old patterns? Asking yourself if it is this hard for everyone? The complexity of life can leave even the grittiest of us drained of all energy by day's end. Luckily, your body is an amazing GPS, deserving of your attention. It has brought you here. By "here" I mean this far in your life and here NOW to explore life-changing possibilities.

I use a combination of Marriage and Family therapy, Hypnotherapy and Spiritual psychology to understand and heal faulty negative self conclusions from the past. Once we understand,( sometimes through buried memories,) that our value as human beings cannot be "unworthy, or "not good enough", we can repair mental, emotional and spiritual wounds from the past. My goal is for you to live in freedom and fulfillment from finding your passion in, and for life.

My ideal patients are children through adults struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, and relationship stress and conflict. I help guide patients towards the achievement of goals through highlighting independent strengths and challenges within larger systems or relationships. I incorporate techniques from Attachment-Based Therapy, CBT, Family-Systems, Relational Therapy, and TF-CBT.

I help my patients learn and implement tools for navigating change, liberation, and healing.

Often, life leads you to a point where you feel stuck. The same strategies that might have worked before are no longer effective. Maybe this is because of life transitions, relationship challenges or just a sense that you want something more. If you feel overwhelmed by work, school, family or relationships, consider how processing those feelings and developing new insights and skills might give you the self-awareness to live a peaceful and more purpose driven life.
