Are you interested in building a deeper sense of self awareness, perhaps an ability to connect more thoughtfully in your relationships? Life gets busy and we can let personal wellness and the care of our relationships to fall by the wayside. Whether you are struggling to navigate life transitions, feeling the weight of unprocessed trauma or wish to change unproductive patterns in your relationships, there is value in taking time to honor your experience. Whatever fork in the road it is that you find yourself at, I look forward to supporting you to deepen your sense of compassionate curiosity and integrate new tools for self care.
I have a background integrating mindfulness-based practices and creative expression within traditional talk therapy. My primary focus is always to meet each client where they are–with acceptance, compassion and curiosity. As a trauma informed practitioner, my hope is to always empower my clients to be active participants in their therapeutic journey.
Taking those first steps towards change making isn’t always easy. So let's appreciate the effort you've made to get here. I encourage you to keep moving forward, one step at a time. We all have the capacity to navigate life's challenges with intentionality and we don't have to do it all on our own. Please reach out if you feel you could use some support.
