I am depth oriented, person centered, and art-based therapist. I deeply trust my clients, their wisdoms, and the potentiality of our relationships. In this work, we use and engage the symptoms and experiences of anxiety, depression, insecurity, etc. to move deeper into what often lies beneath these experiences: the enigma of living. Using compassion, acceptance, kindness, courage, and creativity this enigma becomes a dynamic partner in creating the life we want and need to live.

I work well with people who are experiencing emotional or psychological distress and are motivated to overcome their challenges. You may be struggling with issues such as anxiety, depression, relationship problems, or trauma. You want a therapist who can understand your feelings and provide a safe, non-judgmental environment for you to express your thoughts and emotions. I am here to provide the type of care that you are seeking.

It’s an honor to come alongside souls in their journey of personal evolution and transformation. I believe we all desire to live lives of embodiment - to deeply connect to our own truth, our needs, and our desires, and build a life that is truly authentic and brings balance and peace. In our society, there are many expectations and demands that separate us from our true selves and cause inner conflict, confusion and exhaustion. It's my desire to help people untangle from disempowering patterns and narratives and reconnect them to their own deep wisdom and strength.

Life hardship comes in many forms: emotional distress, trauma, relationship problems, physical or psychological feelings of unsafety. If you’re looking for a therapist you most likely have recognized some of these areas that need attendance in your life. I’m here to contribute with a judgment-free space where you can be your true self and explore what your life will be without the hardships that you’re experiencing. Together we will create a plan for you to start living the life that you desire. I hope to accompany you through the process of healing and attending the needs that are causing your suffering.
