In today's fast-paced world, finding time to reflect on who we are and what we seek in life can be challenging. We can be going through life on autopilot, unsure of why we are not feeling fulfilled or why we have this nagging feeling like something is missing. In my work, I aim to create a warm, open, and supportive space, where together we can slow down and explore with openness and curiosity.

I blend Hakomi therapy, person-centered therapy, and attachment theory to help you explore your thoughts, feelings and behaviors without judgment. We’ll use mindfulness and body-centered techniques to uncover unconscious patterns that affect your well-being and attachment theory helps us understand your relationship dynamics and how they impact your life.

Whether you're dealing with relationship issues, life transitions, depression, anxiety, or seeking to understand yourself more fully, I’m here to help. Let’s work together to develop more self-compassion and make the changes you seek. If this sounds like what you’re looking for, please reach out to schedule a consultation. I look forward to working with you!

In addition to being a LCMHCA, I have 10 years of experience as a bodyworker. During this time, I have witnessed how much of our emotional and mental stress can be held in the body and by involving somatic techniques into counseling sessions, we allow for a more embodied and lasting transformation.

I often use Hakomi therapy, which emphasizes mindfulness and the present moment awareness. This gentle, non-judgmental approach allows for deep insights and shifts to occur naturally, fostering greater self-awareness and emotional freedom. Through mindfulness and experiential techniques, we can uncover the core material that influences your struggles and create opportunities for transformation.
