Drawing from more than two decades of counseling experience, I have supported individuals experiencing issues, such as anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, low self-esteem, relational conflict, life transitions, and various stressors that life presents.
I believe each person's journey through life is unique, and navigating the challenges that come our way can be difficult to manage on our own. I work collaboratively with my clients so you don't have to face your life struggles alone. I'm here to support you. I aim to create a comforting, safe space, nonjudgmental zone where I can assist you in processing your thoughts and emotions related to life's challenges.

Through a trauma-informed, cross-cultural perspective, I creatively integrate somatic and experiential therapies, mindfulness principles, and holistic practices to create a balanced, whole-person approach to healing and personal growth.
My therapeutic style is collaborative and dynamic, emphasizing the intimate relationship between the human body and psychological well-being. Learning to listen and trust our body’s innate wisdom is an effective strategy for building self-trust and self-worth, two critical components of a healthy relationship with our authentic self. I encourage clients to use body-centered exercises, visualization, and artistic expression to find their voice and reconceptualize their fears with a more direct approach.

I believe that stress affects us on all levels: mind, body, and spirit. Whether it is depression, anxiety, relationship struggles, loss, or life transitions, a person needs to be treated on all levels. Additionally, each person experiences the interaction between the three in a unique way, and treatment must reflect that difference between clients. In addition to a doctorate in clinical psychology, I have advanced training in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy (www.sensorimotorpsychotherapy.org) and EMDR (www.emdr.com), both mind/body psychotherapies.
