We each walk a unique path that shapes who we are, at times it's the experiences along this journey that moldes us to act and react in situations. Much of the time we act how things were modeled to us by authority figures in our lives. We learn what works and what doesn't, and some get stuck in a cycle producing unhealthy patterns.

Experiencing loss in life is 100% going to happen. This could be a death, loss of a relationship, a friendship, a pet. Sometimes you can see it coming and wonder if there is any way to stop it. Other times you're blindsided. Now your world feels unstable or $h!t is upside down. Navigating or preparing for loss is isolating & may make you feel and do all sorts of confusing things. You may be trying to emerge from this with a deeper understanding of yourself, improve your relationships, find confidence in your direction in life, restore a sense of safety/stability in the world or just cope with what is happening. Either way, I'm here.

With over 10 years of strength and mindset coaching, I have come to see the value of combining the training of the mind and body. My approach as a therapist evolves from this, appreciating the uniqueness of each individual. As an athlete, I am fascinated by what we can do and how we can create our own story and journey. Providing culturally sensitive and anti-oppressive therapy is one of the key focuses of my practice. I have had a culturally rich upbringing that encouraged and fostered multiculturalism throughout my life and has furthered my curiosity and appreciation for diversity and inclusiveness.

I connect compassionately & deeply with people from a wide variety of cultures, religious backgrounds, and occupations. My clients report feeling safe to share their thoughts, experiences, however traumatic, and to express and transform intense emotions.

Couples become allies in healing, personal growth, parenting lovingly, and advancing their careers and/or creative expression. My clients are interested in living joyfully and dissolving barriers to optimal living.

I foster healing, empowerment, and growth through compassion, collaboration and insight. The rocky path to self-actualization does not have to be walked alone.

What would life feel like if you felt worthy, joyful, healthy, and your emotional needs were met. Therapy is a gift to yourself to feel good again and manage anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and PTSD that keeps you feeling stuck and less than. People often make wrong conclusions about their worth based on the level of emotional attunement and care they received growing up or the trauma they experienced. In the empowering relationship we form, I create a safe to talk and compassionately work alongside you to help, work through your pain & improve the relationship with yourself by discovering meaning, mindfulness and hope.

Everything changes when you fall in love with truth. Inner alignment, no matter where it takes you, is both the means and the end. If you're struggling with depression, anxiety, boundaries, isolation, narcissistic abuse, and/or low self esteem then it might be your intention to develop a keener sense of what your place in life is meant to be, create healthier boundaries and relationships. Together we can explore your inner world, understand who you are at your core, and what you need to develop into the vibrant human being you were always meant to be. Remember, to begin with, that our most important relationship is with ourselves.

Do you walk on eggshells or do you live to please others for fear of making others upset? The reason you can’t seem to heal your chronic stress & depression, health and finances in your relationship, isn't because you haven't already tried talk therapy and various healing modalities; it’s because of a dysregulated nervous system and codependency from long-term narcissistic abuse with an angry person. You need to break free and heal from this within, untangle the confusion in your mind, gain clarity and be your sovereign and most authentic self, where you validate and approve of your core self. Feel safe and confident to be you.
