My practice is suited to clients who are adjusting to challenges in their personal and professional lives. I see a variety of clients who are dealing with feelings of anxiety and depression due to identity issues, relationship troubles, occupational stress and parenting difficulties. Many of my clients find themselves at a 'crossroad' where they choose to resolve past and current conflicts in order to move into a happier and more secure future.

Are you looking to make changes in your life? Do you engage in substance abuse or other negative habits that lead to anxiety and depression leaving you sad and without coping skills?

Are you looking for ways to navigate life's challenges with greater ease and more self-compassion? Too often, we struggle to meet multiple demands which leaves little time to focus on self-care. And, trying manage the role of parent or caregiver can impact our sense of self and capacity to manage our reactions effectively. We're left feeling anxious, depressed, and isolated. We may turn to substances or behaviors that are ultimately unhelpful but do bring some relief. Together, we'll collaborate to build awareness of patterns you want to change and expand your capacity to meet difficult experiences.

A personal therapy experience is about creating a practice of getting connected to ourselves by increasing self-awareness of our mind, body and brain, and learning healthy, adaptive skills to experience a fulfilling life. As a child we develop adaptive methods to navigate life that in adult life become maladaptive and cause suffering. My current focus is working with adults assisting them in experiencing relief related to past traumas and current life events. Through the use of various therapies and exploration of the mind, brain and body's response to triggers, we collaboratively work to facilitate relief.
