I believe in the innate power in us to evolve and resolve. Sometimes when we are faced with challenging situations, our perspectives become hazy and we are unable to connect with our selves. I use eclectic and holistic modes of therapy to help people connect with their inner selves to move on in their lives and reach their full potential. I am trained in DBT, CBT, ACT and am also a Certified EMDR provider. I also completed an externship in Emotionally focussed Therapy for Couples as positive relationships are imperative for our emotional, mental health.

I use a variety of therapeutic techniques including narrative therapy, IFS "parts work", and a blend of cognitive and somatic techniques to explore the ways in which past and present issues are causing internal conflicts and contributing to stress, overwhelm, depression, and anxiety.

Maybe you've been feeling more anxious or irritable lately, and just not yourself. In some ways, your life is pretty much where you hoped it would be, but on the inside you're feeling scared, overwhelmed and full of self doutbt. You juggle a lot and are the "I can do hard things" kind of person..but you find yourself not feeling very strong lately. You've got little patience for your partner, your kids, your friends, and you're losing your focus. You want better ways to cope with these feelings and life's inevitable stress. And more than that, you want to grow beyond the pain, and the past, and find inner strength.

You are deserving of grace and compassion, and I am excited to walk alongside you on your journey! I strive to create a safe, supportive, and collaborative space for you.

Life can sometimes move too fast, too slow, or just be a bit too much – it can throw you off-balance as things continue to change around you. You may feel overwhelmed, frustrated, or discouraged when you try so hard to get by but still feel like things are not going the way you wish it would. All of this is even harder when you have burdens from past traumas or aren’t sure where you want to go. The truth is that behind all the struggle, life curveballs and misunderstandings you may experience, there is strength within you that can be uncovered and brought to the forefront.

Everyone has a story. Everyone has a voice that deserves to be heard. That's how we learn, connect, and grow. True, we become vulnerable, but it is in that vulnerability that we become stronger to face other challenges and overcome them. It is my hope to create a safe and comfortable space for you to feel validated and to know that your feelings and thoughts matter.
