Are you feeling anxious, depressed, overwhelmed, or stuck? Life's challenges can leave you feeling overwhelmed, disconnected from yourself, and uncertain about where to turn next. For over 25 years, I have helped people work through relationship difficulties, grief, life transitions, chronic pain, caregiver burnout, sport performance issues, and the emotional effects of illness or injury. Together, we will understand what is holding you back and develop practical strategies to help you move forward with greater self-assurance.
A central part of my work is helping you understand the connection between your thoughts, emotions, and physical experiences. Using a mind-body approach, we'll learn to recognize your body's signals, uncover patterns that keep you stuck, recognize that you have choices, and develop practical tools for lasting change.
Sometimes the most healing experience is having a safe place to talk about what you've been carrying and feeling truly heard. Therapy offers an opportunity to reconnect with yourself and feel supported as you navigate life's challenges. Together, we can work toward creating meaningful and lasting change. Contact me today to schedule an appointment.

I use an integrative approach that combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with mind-body approaches. I help you understand the connection between your thoughts, emotions, and physical experiences, and use your body as a barometer to recognize emotions that may be outside your awareness because they have been too painful to fully experience. This awareness can bring healing.
