My ideal client is seeking to enhance self-acceptance and self-compassion. I guide clients in shifting from fear to curiosity, judgment to observation, feeling restricted to feeling more open, and from avoidance to being more present. We will work on creating space for oneself and work on letting go of what no longer serves you well. Clients will cultivate a deeper sense of grounding and self-worth. They will learn to show up fully and implement evidence-based strategies to improve their mental well-being.
With 20 years of experience, I have had the privilege of working with diverse populations facing a wide range of challenges. Whether you are seeking support through a difficult life transition, looking to improve relationships, or simply wanting to enhance your overall well-being, I am here to help you navigate your path to self discovery.
One of the most powerful changes a person can make is to know themselves better and to have someone truly listen when they tell their story. I believe in creating a safe but challenging and non-judgmental space where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings, gain insight into their behaviors, and develop effective coping strategies.

In your very first session we will go over family history and your reasons for seeking therapy. We will establish your goals and determine how often we should meet. I encourage my clients to bring something to write on and be prepared to delve into the therapeutic modalities at the second session. I will use CBT, IFS, mindfulness and/or a trauma informed lens in each session.
