Looking for a safe, affirming, and nonjudgmental space to be seen, heard, and acknowledged for exactly who you are while identifying your unique path to wellbeing? Well, you may have come to the right place! I utilize an eclectic, integrative approach to help clients become the most authentic version of themselves by guiding them to: (1) reveal the parts of themselves that have been hidden away (for whatever reason), (2) embrace the beauty of who they are today and offer opportunities for reframing their past (as appropriate), and (3) empower clients to choose how they want to show up in their lives going forward.
I am committed to helping clients find their unique path to wellbeing and uncover and reveal the most authentic version of themselves. I have over 15 years of experience providing individual, group, and couple therapy, and I am also a Registered Drama Therapist (RDT) and a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT).
It is always humbling whenever a client decides to invite me along on their journey to greater wellbeing as both guide and witness. It is a responsibility I do not take lightly. If you need help getting from where you are now to where you want to be, I invite you to reach out to me so that we can explore whether we are a good fit for one another.
