As a transpersonal, body and gestalt psychotherapist, EMDR and Comprehensive Energy Psychology practitioner, meditation teacher and hypnotherapist, I offer an embodied and integrated approach to therapy, coaching, consultation, and teaching. Our problems and difficulties are opportunities for growth and wisdom, our innate intelligence always knows exactly what we need to transform or heal. Often, we need to undergo a process of compassionately encountering what it is that we find unacceptable, terrifying, or seemingly impossible for us to bear or let go. Paradoxically, these are the things that can lead us into deeper relationship with our true self.

I see one of the most important roles as a therapist to be putting in the work to earn someone’s trust and walking beside them as an accomplice on their path towards growth. I don’t believe that people are “broken” or “need to be fixed”, but rather that somewhere within every person lies the capacity to generate change. I believe this change begins by finding someone trustworthy to support them through this process. And—that being kinder and gentler towards ourselves goes a long way to building the foundation for this change to occur.

“Change your thoughts and change your world.” -Norman Vincent Peak It sounds simple, but it often is not and without change, there isn’t growth. At some point in our lives, we can all benefit from talking with someone to discuss challenges of daily life, stressors, transitions, depression, anxieties, and fears. Sometimes we yearn to be heard, better understood or to gain better understanding of ourselves or why we do the things we do or make the decisions that we make. Therapy can be a collaborative journey to explore these facets of our lives to refocus on a more positive and holistic approach to how are going to move forward.

With a specialization in women’s issues, I approach therapy with a gentle, holistic, and down-to-earth perspective. I deeply enjoy working with women on a journey of self-discovery, seeking to understand themselves more fully and bring greater harmony to their lives. The journey into motherhood—from pre-motherhood through pregnancy, birth, and beyond—is especially meaningful to me. I offer compassionate support and collaboration throughout these stages, helping women navigate each transition with insight and care.
