As a therapist and yoga teacher, I believe in a holistic approach to personal growth. I have training and experience in how to use mindfulness and somatic (aka body-based or sensory) techniques to address a range of concerns. I specialize in working with anxiety, addictive behaviors, and folks who want to feel better about how they see themselves. I do often see people who have a trauma history, but whether or not we process it is entirely up to them. Ultimately, it is my intention to help clients build a better relationship with all parts of themselves including their bodies.

My hope is that therapy can provide you a place to improve emotional distress, heal from past wounds, and increase fulfillment in your life. I have been working with people who have experienced trauma in all periods of their life. I've also worked in a large university counseling center for 7 years and have unique understanding on how that transition impacts mental health.

It’s easy to get stuck, to become convinced that it’s too late to have the life you’d dreamed of, or just plain impossible to just be happy, comfortable, fulfilled or feel ‘right’. That’s how I felt. The more I tried, the more frustrated I became. I didn’t think I even deserved these things. I desperately wanted answers, but I didn’t know where to turn, or who to turn to. There are many mirrors in the world – friends, family, therapists, partners – but the key to making lasting change is being willing and able to see your Self clearly in the mirror.

Does any of this sound like you? You're exhausted, anxious and stuck. Life feels overwhelming and no matter what you do, you don't feel good enough. It feels like everyone except you has it "together". Maybe you have all you wanted on paper but it you don't feel fulfilled. You beat yourself up, drink too much or are stuck in the cycle of trying the newest Tiktok welllness trend, hoping this will make you feel better. It's not working and you wonder if you will ever feel happy and content. It's time for a change.

Are you seeking to know yourself and others in a more genuine and authentic way? I believe that meaningful relationships with our self, our partner(s), family, friends, and community are essential to our overall sense of wellness, life satisfaction and emotional security. Using a systemic, attachment-based framework, I seek to create an environment that is affirming, strengths-based and collaborative, while also challenging my clients to identify narratives that no longer serve them, behaviors that move them further from their goals, and dynamics they feel stuck in.

Therapy is the fight for autonomy over our decisions and our strengths-based connections in the aftermath. The universal social work tradition is to build practice based on reciprocity, continuity of care, consent, and affirmation. Therapists build supportive networks through community-based knowledge, interrelationships and love. We labor for access to self determination over our own identities and communities at large. We take a holistic view of the self through a social context, and work to create open and dynamic spaces and roles for ourselves and each other. This must include confronting stigma, isolation and disconnection.
