When circumstances in life have made you feel like the worst version of yourself, I provide a warm, nurturing and non-judgemental refuge that allows you the space to reconnect with your "best self". We will work as a team through trauma and obstacles that are preventing you from moving forward. I am certified in EMDR therapy which provides a deeper layer of work than traditional talk therapy alone can provide. I am also a certified TRE (Tension and Trauma Release Exercise) practitioner. TRE is a somatic therapy that works with the body to release neuromuscular tension patterns. Feel free to call me or email me with questions.

Everyone needs to feel needed and respected! I believe this is a basis to having a good sense of self. However, sometimes life's circumstances prohibit us from being our best. Not feeling okay is fine but not getting support is not okay. We all have friends we can talk to but having a designated therapist to focus on you and guide you through relevant processes can be a boon to achieving your goals. With a compassionate ear and heart I am here to help you through those bumps in life. Why me? Because I have experienced these processes from all angles, I have taught them and I have learned from them myself. Let me be the one to help.

The innovations of our modern world bring new forms of stress while intensifying those which already exist. Hours of the day are spent in grueling stop and go traffic, and to advance one's education or career often requires uprooting from what is known and setting up in a completely new place. People are working more hours than ever before, while cost of living, overpopulation, and globalization heighten the stress of just trying to get by. With change comes the pain of adapting to the way the world is now, often so different from just a few short years ago.

You're struggling and can't seem to find relief. You haven't felt like yourself in longer than you can remember. And it is all starting to feel like too much. Now...Imagine waking up full of energy and actually looking forward to your day. Imagine looking in the mirror and loving the person looking back. Imagine having fulfilling relationships--the best one with yourself! You are confident, strong, and happy. How can you make this happen?
