Is anxiety getting the best of you? Is there a major change occurring in your life—be it at work, in a relationship, or a difficult transition? Do you find yourself awake at night with thoughts and worries looping in your head, or suffering from nightmares or flashbacks? Do you feel down and short on energy or interest in doing things? Are you feeling out of control, checked out, or disconnected from others or yourself? Or maybe you just feel stuck?
My passion is helping people develop strategies and tools to get through difficult times. The methods I use can help clients with anxiety, depression, stage-of-life adjustments, chronic illness, insomnia, trauma, PTSD and low self esteem. You can expect to learn new ways to move through life, communicate, and cope—so that you may grow and heal.
You are unique; therapy will look a little bit different for each person. I encourage curiosity and mindfulness. Our initial session is to get to know and understand why you're seeking therapy. Then we will build on strengths and tools in order to have a safe, strong foundation for the rest of the work we'll be doing together.

I use approaches that recognize the connections between mind and body. I encourage curiosity and mindfulness with a goal of aligning heart, mind and body. The first session starts the process of getting to know and understand why a client is seeking therapy. The next sessions will focus on building strengths and coping mechanisms for a safe, strong foundation for completing goals.
