Is your love or work life in flux? Any life TRANSITION or CHANGE creates ripples, often producing stress and anxiety. Moving from one chapter of life to another asks us to leave our comfort zone.

My aim is to help you address problematic ways of thinking, feeling, and behaving by way of examining the ways in which you perceive the world around you. The goal is to assist you in reaching a position of appreciation for your genuine self (for you are the perfect you!) and an acceptance of the events that occur in your life. I would be honored to take part in your journey of discovering the narratives which potentially distort reality and lead to discomfort, diminished self-worth, or other barriers to attaining contentment.

From an outside perspective, you’ve got it together. But inside, do you feel like a bumbling cartoon character trying to keep your 27 hats balanced on your head while juggling 14 balls… ? Are you going through a life transition and feeling bombarded with stress, anxiety, depression, maybe some imposter syndrome? Does your inner bully like to smack you sometimes, or your past self sabotaging behaviors run across the stage….again? Life transitions can be overwhelming and daunting - especially if you keep telling yourself you "SHOULD" be fine!

My ideal client would be any person that is in need of someone to talk to. They want to feel heard and understood. They have an idea of what they would like to talk about and what they would to see for their own future. Even if they are one hundred percent sure what they want, they are willing to talk about it. Also I think that it is important to be open to the idea that therapy can be fun!

I am a short term, wellness oriented and goal focused therapist. A joyful and purpose driven life is what most of us strive for. Sometimes we are temporarily knocked off the track by a catastrophic event or ongoing life situation that appears to be hopeless or unsolvable. These roadblocks, however, can be overcome with will, good support and the right tools necessary to change our attitudes and life circumstances so that life works for us, not against us, once again. For anxiety and depression I incorporate meditation, tapping, vagus nerve stimulation and relaxation exercises into my sessions to help you regain control.

When we are struggling with our mental health, sometimes talk therapy doesn't feel helpful. Often, learning new things we can do to feel better is much more effective. This is where I come in! My work is grounded in mindfulness, neuroscience and teaching techniques that have proven to help people feel better and thrive. Using a very present day focused, action-oriented style, I help people eliminate problematic anxiety (or panic) and repetitive cycles of depression. If your goal is to improve your mental health through empowered action- I can help!

Hello, and welcome. I'm so glad you're here looking at my profile. It takes a lot of courage to open ourselves, reveal our past, explore life experiences and bring our insecurities, worries and hopes out into the open. During my career, I've been privileged to work with a diverse population of clients ages 18-95, with experiences spanning the spectrum of mental health and life challenges. My approach is person centered, honoring that we're all different, and as such, have different needs. I believe judgment and shame create barriers to progress, and that looking within can bring to light insights and tools for growth and healing.

Deep inside of you is the awareness of what you need to heal. I help facilitate and unearth that inner wisdom with individuals, couples, and groups. Together, we'll practice tuning into your own unique embodied awareness. From there, we can translate that increased clarity into tangible action that aligns with your greatest, most authentic wellbeing. Our bodies exist within larger systems — many of which can disconnect us from ourselves and each other. We'll look together at the messages we've internalized from these systems in order to unearth the ones that are no longer helpful.
