I have experience working with many adults, young adults, and children struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, addiction, and life transitions. By allowing me to help you trust the process of therapy we can work on what your needs may be. When we listen wholeheartedly without judgment, we can become aware and attempt to understand what someone may be feeling. The value of helping others can also give someone hope that there is something to look forward to. That's what drives me toward empathy and compassion.

Emotional scars, many of us have some internally. Some of the “scars” may be buried, suppressed, or repressed. We push it aside to get through our days until we realize it is bleeding into our life, relationships, work, and/or school. We see the scars (i.e., stress, trauma, anxiety, depression, past) as a nuisance, which they can be. If we take a moment to look at the scars, they may be telling us what you need in order to heal and grow. I am here to help you find your inner strength to overcome these scars and life challenges.

Braving the unsteady waters of healing is an act of self-love. I believe in the transformative power of turning our attention inward to shed light on all parts of self—the beautiful, the “ugly,” the shameful, the resilient. From my experience as both a therapist and a fellow human on this path, I have witnessed the profound power of allowing yourself to be seen, truly seen, in the presence of another. It is my commitment to work together to create an environment where you feel safe, honored, and sacred. This is where our “heart-work” begins.
