I utilize our connections to the natural world, our bodies, and our community in the healing process. This knowledge that has been shared with me has illuminated my path and expanded upon my perspective of my training in traditional western psychology. I believe that some of the most fruitful healing happens in relationship and in community and that when given a safe environment, we naturally move towards healing and growth. My goal is for the folks I work with to feel as though they are their own best healer and that they able to return to this knowing in their bodies, mind, and spirit.

Sometimes we spend a lifetime searching for answers and trying to unravel the things that have occurred in our lives. Other times, we seek to learn about the future and pathways that we may want to lay out for ourselves. However, at the end of the day, we also need to learn about the present moments and how we transition throughout these various phases of life. Therapy is designed to provide support and a place of safety for the client to explore any and all things that may have already happened in their lives, and the events that may occur as their life continues on.

As a relational therapist, my approach is based in the understanding that secure relationships with ourselves and others are essential to our emotional well-being. In my practice, I use the framework provided by the field of interpersonal neurobiology (IPNB) to explain how our brain, body and relationships work together to create our mind – or lived experience. Because these three systems are different for every one of us, they interact – or integrate – differently, providing us with our own unique take on the world – and on ourselves and our relationships with others.

I am an EMDR trained, trauma-informed, warrior therapist who has had to face difficult situations myself, have learned from my own trauma, have grown in ways I never thought possible. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Psychotherapist not only do I use my educational background, but also life lessons to assist other women who are in the midst of their journey, no matter what that journey is; depression, anxiety or fear. Fear comes in many forms. Trauma comes in many forms. Micro-aggressions leveled at you from work and home all can play a role in how you have navigated life; how you have lost your way at times.

My approach can best be described as Relational-- I work hard to form a relationship based on the needs of the client.. I try to help you quickly feel at ease and both tell and show me who you are by the way you relate to me. I use this information to help me understand you, and to help you understand how you may come across to others, in a supportive, accepting way, that I hope breeds self-acceptance. I also address depression, anxiety, sex and sexuality, family of origin issues, shame, and self-esteem among other issues.

Living out our own sense of wisdom into our fullest expressions both personally, professionally and in relationships takes bravery. Change and transformation is often messy and confusing yet frequently results in our wildest dreams actually coming true. It takes work. Change is not a path anyone needs to go at alone. Having an experienced practitioner (like a therapist or coach) can jumpstart change and bypass unnecessary suffering. I specialize in resilience building, self-compassion and trauma recovery for this reason. I weave modern neuroscience with ancient wisdom traditions in an effort to help people find what they long for.

Life can be difficult. Personally, spiritually, emotionally… The seasons of this life are not always easy to manage.

I’m not your typical therapist. I'm real. I'm approachable. And I don't think therapy should be some stale, clinical, sterile experience. That doesn’t sound like a great therapy experience to me! I work with women who are seeking change in their life – related to career, social life, personal development – but don’t know where to start or how to make positive change happen. Within the therapy setting I create a welcoming environment by taking on a solution focused approach, utilizing empathy, challenging you when appropriate, and using humor at times.
