You’ve scrolled and scrolled looking for the perfect therapist. That alone can be stressful and overwhelming. Starting therapy can be nerve-racking and uncomfortable, and reaching out for help is a huge step. So congrats! Life happens to us all, and can put us in a position where we don’t know what to do next , how to manage, questioning ourselves or our next decision. I get it.

I believe therapy is a way to enrich life and develop a secure connection in a space free of judgement and met with compassion. I strive to provide lasting change from the inside out. I believe in treating the whole person, mind, body, & spirit. I believe it is important to pay attention to emotion, non-verbal communication, somatic expressions and non-conscious processes. Memories play a part in how our brains process and store meaning to life. Misinterpreted meaning becomes internalized and presents unwanted feelings/thoughts/behaviors. As we work together, we process memories leaving those undesired mind/body connections behind.
