I'm a therapist who believes healing goes beyond just talking about your struggles.

These powerful tools help us access and release the physical sensations and emotions held within the body, making space for safety and nervous system regulation.

You are the navigator of your own life and when we work together you are welcome to let go of outside expectations and discuss what you want to move through your life as your most honest, comfortable, and authentic self everyday.

Asking for help is difficult; this may be why it feels safer to tuck back into ourselves and endure struggle internally. We judge ourselves for not having the strength to overcome pain and do additional damage in the process. Are you someone who deals with inner turmoil? Do these struggles lead to excessive worry, mood swings, impulsive, or destructive behaviors? I use compassion, connection, and therapeutic skills to help folks learn positive behavior changes, and process difficult emotions. A collaborative therapeutic relationship can help you to recognize your own strengths, so you can handle life's challenges effectively.

I incorporate body awareness techniques with all my clients to improve the mind body connection.
