Individuals I work with are tired of being tired, tired of anxious thoughts keeping you up at night. You may feel stuck in the cycle of unhealthy behaviors, the effects of trauma, or having difficulty asking for what you want and need. It may be hard to even know what you want or need. But you want something different. I see my role as a guide for you. I focus on helping you reconnect to your wise, compassionate and loving self. Having this connection will give you the clarity, confidence and compassion and connection you've been looking for.
My therapeutic approach includes elements of Internal Family Systems, EMDR (Eye movement desensitization reprocessing), mindfulness, body awareness, and expressive art techniques.
I am proud to tell my clients that I don’t ask them to do anything I haven’t done myself I bring a mix of compassionate playfulness and sensitivity to all my relationships. I focus on building trust and safety in sessions so clients feel safe to heal.
