We all get scared sometimes - scared things will change, scared things won’t change, scared of who we truly are or who we might become. Life can really throw us for a loop. It takes real bravery to face the things that scare us. And only through that bravery can we actually accept ourselves for who we are, what we truly want and what part we’ve had in creating the thing that scares us. Once we can accept this, we can begin to create a life reflecting truth, authenticity and integrity.

We often find ourselves and bodies, on the path towards health after overwhelming experiences (birth, chronic illness), trauma, grief or loss. Re-igniting our inner-fire and natural emotional balance can understandably be a challenge. Trauma-informed somatic psychotherapy can help! I take my role as a therapist, one who supports the client on their journey, as a facilitator of a sacred collaboration. I conduct therapy with an intention to process and move trauma (anxiety, depression and grief accompanying it) in order to restore balance between the mind, body, and spirit and reignite the internal fire.

I specialize in a collaborative therapeutic approach, tailoring treatment methods to the individual interests and needs of each client. I integrate CBT, Mindfulness, person-centered, existential, solution-focused, and somatic movement modalities to address a wide range of client needs, from depression, spiritual awakenings, and parenting concerns to holistic living. I honor your vulnerability and openness in this process and hold the space for possibility, purpose, peace and joy in your life.

Adjusting to parenthood is one of the most profound transitions you will have in your lifetime. It is a time when support is truly needed. Not only is motherhood physically exhausting at times; it can be emotionally draining as well. The highs and pure love are often coupled with lows and uncertainty. Unfortunately, moms often do not share experiences that are outside the happiness ideal. If you are experiencing both highs and lows or feelings of ambivalence, you are not alone. These feelings are not a reflection of who you are as a person or mother.

Parenting is a veritable obstacle course of questions, confusion and worry. For almost twenty years I have helped parents like you navigate these obstacles, and learn to better connect with their children. Therapy with me is like a gymnasium where we explore and wrestle with your inner conflicts and "stuck" feelings around parenting. We work as partners toward a greater understanding of yourself and your child.

I believe that the capacity to thrive already lives in your hands, heart, and imagination. As your therapist, I will work with you to uncover your own inherent wisdom. With your wise self in the room, we can explore how parts of you may feel lost, unsure or left out. As your wise self learns to take up more space in your life, you may come to realize that the painful parts of you are just that: a part of you, and that your life is not defined by these parts. I will help you to realize that you are indeed amazing, capable, and loved.

I am here to help you achieve positive change towards an extraordinary life. One that is filled with connection, success, happiness, and health. My passion for empowering mothers comes from a deeply personal place. I have navigated the complicated transition into motherhood as an ambitious entrepreneur and often felt the overwhelm and frustration you may be experiencing right now. I see you, busy mama. You know you were made for more. It is possible to rewrite the stories that are holding you back and feel whole again. I would be honored to help you sort through feelings of burnout and step into confidence in all of your roles.

In individual therapy we enter into a non-judgmental and unconditional relationship in which we can be our true selves. Through weekly meetings together, we explore your belief systems, patterns and what makes you, you. With deep insight we formulate the tools for your personal growth. The process of therapy and its' unique container can ignite tremendous transformation in all facets of your life. I invite you to contact me and begin the healing process.

I wholeheartedly believe it’s my role as a therapist to assist you in realizing, accessing and cultivating the internal and external resources that you already possess. Stress, conflict, and pain are those given aspects of life.

Parenting young kids is a rollercoaster of emotions. One minute, everything’s fine, and the next, you're dealing a chaotic mess. It's normal to feel like you're losing your footing. But what if you could move from feeling constantly overwhelmed to feeling confident and aware? You’re here because you feel worried and anxious, and you know that your childhood experiences impact how you parent today. You don’t want to repeat the same patterns that got you here in the first place. These issues impact your relationships. It’s time to learn to parent differently and stop being afraid of making the same mistakes your parents did.

I provide a safe and comfortable place for you to share your concerns, fears, and goals. I work with individuals, groups, and families on a wide range of issues ranging from relationship conflicts to anxiety, depression, and major life changes. I do a lot of work with people dealing with chronic illnesses, particularly Type I diabetes. I have a diverse background working in a hospital setting, school, and with domestic violence, gang intervention, high-risk children, and individuals with disabilities.

I believe building an authentic human relationship rooted in non-judgement, caring attention, and respect for your unique goals is the key to effective therapy. For me, humor is an essential tool for connection and helps soften the difficult and sometimes painful work of healing. I aim for a balance between deep, transformative reflection and practical changes that can make everyday life feel lighter.

Life is busy and complex. The constant pressure that we feel to meet our professional obligations, navigate personal relationships and occupy roles are overwhelming. We set an unsustainable pace that inevitably leaves us anxious, socially disconnected and emotionally depleted. The demands of being a professional, person of color, parent or person navigating a change can become unmanageable.
