I work with individuals and couples who are struggling with worries, sadness, relationship difficulties, or feel "stuck" in some way. My primary focus areas are anxiety, depression, ADHD and trauma, using a combination of cognitive behavioral and integrative practices. I draw from modalities such as Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Somatic Experiencing. This integrative approach to mental health allows me to tailor the experience to your unique needs.
Contemporary evidence-based practices are powerful and can coexist with the world of traditional knowledge. A growing body of evidence suggests that behavioral, cognitive, and emotional factors can significantly affect our physical health – our bodies and minds are one. We will work together to establish healthy thought patterns and build trust in the body.
Reclaiming your inner peace is big work. I will be here to offer deep compassion and kindness as you take the steps needed to heal. I look forward to supporting you on this journey of nurturing and loving your authentic self.
