For the past 22 years I have helped traumatized, depressed or anxious clients feel safe, heard, understood and empowered. Trauma can make people feel hopeless, numb, empty and like they have lost themselves. They often resort to coping that helps them avoid or escape their emotional pain but doesn’t help them to heal or effectively manage their symptoms but they don’t know any other way. There is another way. In my gentle, compassionate, non-judgmental approach I help clients feel unconditional acceptance, support, understanding & safety.

Have you ever heard it said that your thoughts create your reality? If you're curious about this fact (that both quantum physics and neuroscience agree on) and if you're tired of traditional psychotherapy, I would love to work with you and help you get the results that you are seeking, whether that's a romantic relationship, more money, your dream job, or just feeling better about yourself and others. After working for many years as a psychotherapist, I now focus exclusively on psychological coaching, because I have found that it simply works the best in helping my clients to shift faster and have the new experiences that they want.

Change isn't just hard, it's virtually impossible on your own. I want to help you understand how your mind works, and why it is sabotaging your efforts towards self-improvement. Anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, addiction, OCD and other disorders stem from our mind's protective mechanisms. Through exploration of the origins of our struggles and identification of better ways to protect ourselves, we can overcome these struggles and finally make progress towards the change we desire. If this sounds like a journey you would like to take, then I would like to be your guide.
