Have you experienced a recent or past traumatic event? Do you have trouble expressing how you feel?

I use humanistic, existential, and mindfulness techniques when working with individuals and couples.
Some emotions can be too complex to process alone. Distress can develop from daily life, when navigating relationships, and possibly as a result from unacknowledged childhood experiences that resurface. I help foster awareness of your own needs through reflective exercises, mindfulness, skill acquisition, and combating cognitive distortions. I believe that we all hold the answers within ourselves to what causes us distress, but the challenge may be in discovering them. Counseling is a partnership and my role is to guide individuals towards reaching their mental health goals and strengthening their relationships.

Depending on your need, we may look at thoughts, acceptance, mindfulness, self-care, boundaries, or past wounds.
Are you anxious that you might not be able to handle this big life challenge with your physical & emotional wellbeing, authenticity & integrity, and values & serenity still intact? Are you hopeful that maybe, just maybe, you can come out on the other side of it with new growth & wisdom? Are you struggling to navigate life and find fulfillment, love, & belonging as someone who's “different”, even from some of the people & communities you love most? Are you feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, unseen, unheard, or unfulfilled in your relationships? Do you wrestle with inner whispers of shame, and wonder “Am I enough? Am I good enough?"

I'm a graduate of the Metta Institute End-of-Life Practitioner program, hold a certificate in Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, and have extensive experience in mindfulness.
We all carry wounds which affect our inner well-being, our relationships, and our ability to engage with the world. By facing our pain and suffering with compassion, we have the power to transform it into strength. Often, we cannot do this alone. Therapy is a journeying together to discover your own capacity for resilience and strength and healing into your deeper, truer self. I cultivate therapeutic relationships built on deep trust and incorporate mindfulness, narrative awareness, strengths-based insight building, and cognitive restructuring, focusing from a spiritual perspective on what gives meaning, purpose, and connection.
