The foundation of my therapeutic approach is rooted in mindfulness and a deep understanding of how the nervous system responds to overwhelming or traumatic experiences. By fostering physiological safety and co-regulation, we can support your healing journey. Chronic anxiety and depression often leave us feeling disconnected, stuck in survival mode, and lacking purpose. What sets my approach apart is its foundation in trauma-informed modalities, compassion-based practices, and high-performance psychology, offering you a holistic and comprehensive path to mental health and well-being.

My goal is to help you increase your tolerance for challenging sensations, emotions, thoughts, and patterns that contribute to this chronic suffering. With my guidance, we will create more flexibility in your nervous system’s responses, build compassion for the parts of you that feel stuck, and cultivate courage, resilience, and mental toughness.

The initial step to reach out for support will be a difficult one and often overwhelming. If you’re seeking balance, harmony, and a life lived to its fullest potential, reach out for a consultation. I’ll meet you where you are and determine how I can best support you on your journey.

I work with clients who may be struggling with trauma related symptoms such as depression and anxiety. During our initial sessions, we will explore how your brain and body responded to these difficult past experiences and how its keeping you stuck in fight/flight and/or freeze.Our aim is to support you to move past these experiences and live life to its fullest.

I use Somatic experiencing, Polyvagal Theory and Mindfulness to help guide our sessions together. Even though modalities play a role, the most important part of our work together is the feeling of safety. During our sessions ill help you move through reactions that keeps you stuck in the past and show you ways to respond differently to challenging experiences and regain control of your life
