When you live with trauma or emotional pain—or just plain feel lost—it can be difficult to manage your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Together, we can sort out what is and is not working for you so you can feel in control and step into your authentic self. You can find a sense of balance and peace as we navigate the patterns you have fallen into and develop opportunities for healing and a new way of being in the world. As a therapist fluent in American Sign Language, I work extensively with the Deaf community. I am passionate about working with Deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals in a way that respects their culture.
I am a counselor and dance/movement therapist working with individuals to promote growth and change. Together, we will embark on an embodied and creative process, incorporating body-based techniques and mindfulness in an approach tailored to you to help you find healing and wholeness by connecting to your body and learning to be present.
I strive to provide a compassionate, healing environment where you can feel free to express your whole self: mind, body, and spirit. If you are looking to work in collaboration with an experienced psychotherapist, then reach out for a free consultation. The most secure way to reach me is via our website contact form or phone consultation button.
