I am an EMDR trained therapist with a certification in Expressive Arts Therapy. With over 10 years of experience as a yoga teacher, I bring a body-centered approach to my counseling work. I am passionate about integrating mind+body awareness with creativity to support mental well-being. I enjoy combining modalities of EMDR and expressive arts therapy. I believe the creative process to be a powerful tool in healing, often incorporating different expressive arts modalities, including writing, dance, movement, poetry, visual journaling, painting, drawing, and others.

I specialize in supporting women through preconception through the postpartum period. In my practice, I offer a warm, non-judgmental space for you to safely explore your parenting journey and relationships. By connecting with your body, we can heal past wounds and uncover your inner strengths. I specialize in an integrative, trauma-informed, holistic wellness approach. My goal is to empower you and help you connect with your story, body, relationships, and values. I also work with trauma, body image issues, and disordered eating concerns.

I have a deep respect for the incredible strength and resilience of the human spirit, and one of my greatest joys is witnessing others come home to themselves through the support of the therapeutic relationship. I understand that life transitions can be difficult and overwhelming, and as a therapist I come along side you to support you in navigating transitions, coping with stressors, and coming home to your truest self.

My goal is to help you achieve emotional wellness. A lot of times the problems we struggle with are based on underlying conditions not addressed, such as anxiety, depression, mood disorders. Underlying problems that may lead to risky behaviors, such as alcohol or drug use. Maybe there is no substance use, but other behaviors that are concerning to you or others. Let me work with you in redirecting negative thoughts, behaviors and actions.

All of our journeys are unique. It is important that each individual finds a path to wellness that is comfortable for them. At times, life brings challenges and roadblocks that require us to seek outside supports. I strive to provide a safe and caring, judgement free environment for individuals to explore and unpack life's difficulties. I provide effective care and give individuals the respect they deserve.

Somewhere along the way you started feeling like a zombie. You are physically and emotionally exhausted. You're feeling burned out, overwhelmed, disconnected and on edge. Hopelessness is sinking in or has already sunken in. You're calling out to work or skipping classes. You are terrified that you can't handle life's demands or the needs of those who count on you. Your family and relationships are suffering. The words "self-care" elicits both a laugh and a sinking feeling in your stomach, but also, you know that at some point something has to give. You are tired of feeling guilty for having your own needs. It is time.

Feeling frustrated? Overwhelmed? Anxious? Not sure how to engage effectively with your children? Whether it is school/peer anxiety, relationship issues, parent/child/sibling conflict, or something completely different, I welcome the opportunity to help children, teens, and adults work through life's challenges. I will help to highlight focus areas and to identify smaller steps to make the process feel manageable as you work toward your goal.

I believe each person is an expert of his or her life. You already possess the tools within yourself to make positive changes. I will help you discover those tools and assist you in life transitions so that you may find your true self. Do you feel like you're on autopilot? Life got you stressed out and you're just going through the motions. We will work together to help you recognize any thoughts or maladaptive behaviors that can produce painful feelings, that can lead to unresolved issues. Together we will discover your choices along with therapeutic goals to help you reach your full potential.

If you’re reading this then you have decided that it’s time to get reconnected with yourself, your partner, or even your friends. Dating may be a struggle, you may be having trouble finding direction with your partner, or you may even be holding yourself back from opportunities that you feel you're not good enough for. There's one thing that is often the common denominator: relational trauma. When you’re hurt by the people that you love, it breaks and it builds.

I believe that healing that takes place with another person present is sacred. I enjoy working with clients at any stage of the healing process, from just starting their journey to feeling confident in their abilities. We will create a safe, supportive environment for you to explore yourself and become the best possible you through listening, education, and creative counseling techniques that are NOT Freud's psychotherapy. I love it when clients bring in questions, ask for homework, and commit to the process of counseling. At the same time, I have worked successfully with numerous clients who weren't so sure about going on their journey yet. If motivation is lacking, I like to provide a sounding board for clients who want to be inspired and empowered to decide what's right for them. I regularly ask my clients to get their hands dirty so that in the future, you will have the tools and coping skills you need to embrace your life. Much of counseling is a "choose your own ending" adventure novel, and when you are up for those twists, I'll be right beside you so you do not have to walk through the dark alone.

I help people create insight, identify challenges, and learn about themselves so that they can feel empowered. I also help clients challenge self-defeating thoughts, so that they can rekindle a passion for life. The path toward a life filled with love and happiness starts with a single first step: self-acceptance. Sounds simple doesn't it? The right mindset can make all the difference. I believe in people's innate ability to accept and heal themselves. I'm the guide to help you discover what works for YOU.

You've overcome trauma in your life. You are successful, but new changes are bringing up emotions that are difficult to manage. Maybe they are emotions that you haven't felt in awhile and you need a safe place to process them. Maybe you've felt them, but your current coping skills are no longer working. You are ready for relief from these emotions. You're ready to let go of the past and start this new chapter with ease, but the people who care about you want to help, but don't know how. You are ready to rewrite your story and be confident in yourself and your relationships.
