I have worked with marriages, families and individuals for nearly two decades in various capacities and have been practicing as a Graduate trained therapist since 2016.

I enjoy people and I enjoy helping people. People struggle, it is most often a fact of life. Nobody is immune.

Whether you find yourself struggling to navigate through personal relationships, facing professional setbacks, or battling with the challenges of mental health issues, the weight of these burdens can feel overwhelming. Past traumas only perpetuate the overwhelm. It's entirely understandable to feel as though you've exhausted all avenues looking for relief, only to find yourself in what feels like a constant cycle of hardship. In the words of Brene Brown, “owning our story can be hard but not nearly as difficult as spending our lives running from it.”

Are you tired of constantly feeling on edge? This is not your fault. You are not broken. Your body is trying to heal itself by processing the stressful/traumatic situations you have been through. Your nervous system is getting flooded (unintended overwhelm) while your body is trying to process the situations you have been through. Because the nervous system is flooded, your brain is unable to file the memories as things that happened in the past. This is where I come in. I help you navigate these memories in ways that do not overwhelm your nervous system so that you are able to file the memories as things that happened in the past.

It's incredibly human to find ourselves anxious, detached, and overwhelmed. Disconnect in relationships can often feel miserable, and keeping healthy boundaries and navigating conflict can be a struggle. My expertise is in creating a therapeutic relationship that goes beyond traditional cognitive approaches, valuing an embodied sense of change, where patterns can shift, trauma can feel integrated, and we can achieve an overall sense of resilience and connectedness, to ourselves and each other.

Hello! My offices are designed to enhance a calming environment so that persons who seek help feel calm and safe. That being said, also due to advanced technology with the sciences such as neuroscience, micro-biology, epigenetics, study on neuroplasticity and other research, we understand more than we ever did before. This allows us to enhance our skills and benefits to you. I hear you and work hard to adjust to your needs. More importantly, we can change, “Scientific Fact”. Talk therapy is important but not enough. With this work most people improve their relationships and experiences in life. I look forward to seeing you soon!

Facing hardships is an inevitable part of being human. Worry, sadness, conflict, and loneliness creep in despite our best attempts to keep them at bay.

My goal as your therapist is to walk alongside you as you gain greater insight, awareness, and skills to live more authentically. I am an earnest and inquisitive therapist who uses an eclectic mix of treatment modalities to meet your unique needs. Together we will collaborate to design the therapy that feels right to you.
