Life can be hard, oftentimes leaving us feeling anxious, defeated and alone. I am here to walk alongside you and be a guide on this journey. Together we'll create space to heal old wounds, while simultaneously cultivating practices to ensure that when life gets hard, and let's be real- it will, you are able to embrace the uncertainty and discomfort with laughter, peace and joy!
My clinical training has been working with women and children experiencing relational distress, emotional disturbance, attachment injury, trauma and PTSD. I have advanced training in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, an integrative, trauma-informed model of therapy that utilizes the mind-body connection.
Therapy is a journey of endless discovery and letting go, learning and unlearning all while laughing and shedding some tears. I believe therapy is sacred work, and it would be my privilege and honor to embark on this journey with you!
