Life doesn't always go as planned and sometimes it can be a real struggle. If you are experiencing anxiety / depression / overwhelm and unsure where to turn ... I can help! As human beings we naturally go through a wide range of emotions but that doesn't mean we have to suffer... we all have the power of change within us! I can help you believe in yourself, embrace confidence and self-assertion to take back your life. In my practice, I help people struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, loss, food/body issues, dissociation, codependency, and relationship problems.

Are you struggling to trust yourself? Are you wanting a deeper spiritual connection, or think you might be going through a spiritual awakening and feel overwhelmed and confused? Maybe you’re facing high sensitivity, people pleasing, anxiety, or perfectionism. These are things I understand on a deep, personal level, and I have a special place in my heart for those facing these challenges. My specialty is combining evidence based practices with spirituality, in order to guide you back to wholeness.

On the road of life, we may find that our dreams and aspirations for living have been derailed, slowed, or halted by the effects of challenging circumstances such as traumatic events, troubled relationships, illness, loss, identity confusion, unwanted thoughts, or difficulties with our mood. These challenges are the bumps on our road, but the feelings of isolation, grief, sadness, fear, self-doubt, guilt and shame that often follow can often feel like unyielding roadblocks. In times like these, we need a supportive ally, one with the ability to help to forge new pathways and explore uncharted possibilities for a life yet imagined.

I AM CURRENTLY ONLY AVAILABLE FOR TELEHEALTH. My training goes beyond traditional talk therapy and encompasses Play Therapy for children; Somatic Experiencing Training and the Neuro Affective Relational Model (NARM) for teens and adults that enables people to get to the root of their disconnection so that they can feel more alive and connected to themselves. I utilize these specialized trainings in both play therapy and trauma resolution to resolve concerns such as: family stress, divorce, relational trauma, discipline and behavioral problems, and anxiety.

The essence of this approach Somatic Science (R) is highly effective at supporting your nervous system to become regulated, relaxed and harmonized with itself & the external environment. This approach helps you to develop a basic capacity for self-attunement and self-regulation, which are essential for satisfying relationships with yourself and others.  Ultimately, this approach can result in a depth and breadth of self-discovery, presence, joy and peace that most spiritual traditions claim to be extremely rare. ​The aim of our approach is to enjoy life with happiness; no more and no less. Our physiology is at the core of happiness.

My goal as your coach/therapist is to help you find relief from frustration and pain associated with unresolved life issues. Sometimes this means dealing with past traumatic events and other times it requires a clear focus on your desired future. Chronic stress, worry, pain, anxiety, overwhelm and confusion about your life are some of the challenges we can tackle.

I strive to create a safe, compassionate environment, where you can open up and feel held and seen as you share more vulnerable parts of yourself. At times, life presents us with challenges that overwhelm us. I'm here to offer support so you can go through your challenges with more ease and grace. I am interested in genuine exploration of one's true nature. I'm here to help uncover all the layers that prevent you from living a life that you deserve. My passion is to help develop the spiritual aspects of your life which can lead to more fulfillment, harmony and balance.

I’m glad you’re here! Finding the right therapist can be challenging, so here’s a little about how I work to help you decide if we might be a good fit. I specialize in working with adults and couples navigating what can sometimes be an overwhelming existence. Whether it’s managing anxiety, healing burnout, traversing relationship difficulties, navigating a life transition, or living with grief, I’m here to hold a warm, supportive space.

Have you tried traditional talk therapy and felt like something was missing? Did it seem like you were talking in circles, or reached a plateau? Did it feel too rigid or surface level? Many clients come to me after having done traditional talk therapy and now they want to go deeper. So many issues like codependency, addiction, and persistent anxiety and depression are rooted in subconscious beliefs and patterns rooted in childhood pain. My work is unique because we address your subconscious mind and nervous system, in addition to cognitive process, to help you heal the past in order to move forward.

Currently accepting new clients! :) My belief is that we have innate value and strength to overcome the more challenging or lonely parts of life. I offer a supportive and compassionate space to help you reflect and realize these strengths, and accompany you through your experience. My clients tell me that through sessions they feel heard, understood, and are able to apply practical strategies to relieve suffering. My typical clients are young adults going through life transitions, clients experiencing depression, anxiety, relationship conflict, other interpersonal dilemmas, and individuals suffering from trauma.

Whether you are dealing with an unexpected change, trauma, anxiety, health challenge, relationship stress, depression or other mental health issue, having a trusted guide on the path can make all the difference. Over the past 25 years I have found mind body therapies get to the root of where we get stuck and allow for positive change.

With a firm belief in the transformative power of self-discovery, I specialize in working with emerging adults/college age individuals as well as women and their unique challenges and opportunities faced at different stages of life. My focus is helping my younger clients build inner strength, explore their identities, establish independence, and navigate important life decisions. I also support women related to their career, relationships, health, and personal fulfillment, while also empowering them to embrace their wisdom and strengths.

I wish to honor the struggle bringing you to therapy while holding the possibility of real, long lasting transformation. My intention is to create a space where you feel safe and capable of holding your experience in new ways. From this space of self-acceptance, we will begin to explore the ways in which your natural expression has been distorted.

As an experienced therapist and coach, I specialize in helping trauma survivors break free from the grip of their past and reclaim their lives. I know that no matter what you've been through, you have the power to change your thoughts, beliefs, and ultimately, your life. In my sessions, I utilize a combination of visualizations, inner conversations, and revision techniques to help you uncover the limiting beliefs and emotional blocks that are keeping you stuck in undesired circumstances. If you're ready to create real transformation in your life, I'm here to support you every step of the way.

We all need help sometimes. Navigating life's challenges with a compassionate guide can make all of the difference. If you are feeling lost or directionless, stuck in limiting patterns or beliefs or are searching for something more, I am here to help. I'd feel honored to collaborate with you to cultivate positive habits, resilience, and loving relationships that align with your values. I thoroughly love what I do and I am ready to provide support and encouragement on your healing journey.

I offer psychotherapy to individual who are faced with a variety of concerns. My role is to provide a therapeutic presence through a safe environment to promote healthy self-expression which is important to beginning life’s mind and body journey. Being bilingual and culturally sensitive, I am aware of the personal, relational, and spiritual needs of the individual. I nurture strengths and am committed to facilitating personal growth, no matter how small the step is to get there.

You wake up exhausted, and defeated. High anxiety, racing thoughts and loneliness overshadow every hint of joy in your life. As your energy plummets, small tasks become huge. Just talking seems like a chore. Irritability and exhaustion are a constant battle. Loved ones complain that you are removed and shutdown. You want to let them in, but it’s hard to trust anyone. It’s become impossible to turn off that negative voice in your head that keeps saying you aren’t doing enough. No one understands. Everything triggers you. The past is tied up with the present, your thoughts are dark, and you’re afraid of losing everything.
