Welcome- clients seek out my help as a psychologist when something interferes with their life’s functioning. Whether it’s anxiety, depression, compulsions, addictions, grief, etc. something is blocking their ability to enjoy life. Their life becomes constricted. The symptom shackles their life blocking their ability to function normally. Most of what happens is related to memories and experiences which the brain holds as images that need to be reprocessed. It’s as if there is an event or series of events that remain frozen inside the brain, that needs to be released, This is how we heal or become whole.

I am passionate about providing education and empowerment around the mind-body connection. We learn to understand how the mind and body may be in survival mode and how a learned response may no longer serve us. Holding space allows for the body and mind to create space from imprinted thoughts & emotions in order to see choice in self-talk, belief systems, behaviors, and gain acceptance of ourselves. We learn how to rewire/rewrite our narrative through self-compassion.
