I am passionate about helping you access your natural ability to heal from the root of your symptoms and reconnect with your true self. I create a safe environment for your inner work with my compassionate, intuitive, grounding and easygoing presence. I practice powerful and efficient healing modalities that enable deep and lasting transformation to occur. We go beyond the level of talking to studying your direct experience in the moment with curiosity and compassion. I aim to help you build self-compassion, awareness, acceptance, healthy communication and coping skills so you can step into a more authentic life.
My approach includes body-mind-spirit and is based in attachment theory and trauma research. I specialize in ART, DBT, CBT and somatic therapy that are effective for a wide range of issues and empirically validated. I am an advocate of alternative therapies incorporating movement, sound, breath work, reiki and other energy-based healing modalities.
My interest in therapy stems from a deep desire to know myself and to assist others in living the most authentic life possible free of depression, fears and addictions. The value I can add to my clients’ healing journeys comes from years of education, hands on experience in the field and from doing my own inner work. I look forward to connecting with you!
