Do you understand your thought processes or have had therapy before, but still find yourself in the same relationships or repeating the same patterns in your life over and over? You know what triggers you but are still overwhelmed, numb, or disconnected? Do you struggle to understand your emotions? Are you stuck in a state of guilt, shame or unworthiness? Do you struggle to find some compassion for yourself because you don't feel like you are living the life you think you should? Do you struggle to show up the way you would like to? If so, we should connect.
I offer personalized, trauma-informed therapy—integrating emotion-focused, body-based, compassion-focused and mindfulness methods. My focus on building safety, self-compassion and self-esteem allows for a space that allows us to explore emotions, develop coping strategies that we can access in moments of high stress, and foster a mind-body-spirit connection.
Embarking on a journey of healing is a courageous step, and I want you to know that you're not alone. Your unique experiences matter, and I am here to listen, understand, and support you. Together, we can navigate the complexities of your emotions, relationships, and personal growth. Reach out, and let's start this healing journey.

We learn how to start hearing your voice whether it's in the context of difficult life decisions, our interpersonal relationships, or in your life path overall. We learn to find safety within our bodies to move through the avoidance, approach, and holding patterns that keep us stuck. Then, we can move towards our goals authentically, with intention, rather than through the lens of our trauma.
