It is time to actually make those changes you have been really wanting. You know your past is holding you back, you just aren't sure what to do about it. The pain from the past, the old family issues, the failed relationships - they are dragging you down. Sure you have supportive friends, but at this point, even they aren't sure what to say. If simply talking about it was helpful, you would be on your way by now. The next step, toward actual change, is to do something - and that is where therapy can help. Let's figure out why and how you are stuck so you can make changes.

I believe that everyone has an innate desire to heal, whose potential can be unlocked with the right conditions of safety and non-judgmental support. If we can slow down enough to notice what needs our attention, each of us can heal ourselves. I view therapy as a weekly, collaborative ritual in which clients can reconnect with their intuitive abilities and reach their highest potentials. Integrating tools from mindfulness-based practices, somatic experiencing, and trauma-informed psychotherapy. I offer a holistic approach in which we function collectively to uncover your inherent wisdom and reclaim total authenticity.

I believe the challenges we face in life can become catalysts for change and opportunities for growth. Struggling through problems alone is painful and can leave you feeling stuck in old patterns and beliefs. Therapy offers a safe space for healing through the power of human connection and the feeling of being understood.
