A client's relationship with his or her therapist is very important. Real change is possible only when a client feels comfortable being genuine with the therapist. This ability to be oneself fosters change within a safe environment where clients can explore their experiences. Together we can help you achieve more awareness and a more authentic life.

If you’re anything like me and the humans I’ve worked with, you’re probably used to inner chaos. Feeling all the feelings and having no idea what to do with them all. You’ve probably been told (or tell yourself) that you’re “too emotional” or “too sensitive.” Maybe you’ve internalized a mean inner critic, didn’t always get the support you needed, people pleased until the point of burn out, or felt chronically misunderstood. You’re in the right place! I believe that the most transformation stems from the power of the therapeutic relationship. Together, we’ll create a space where all of you is welcomed! We never know where life is going to take us. Whether that lands us navigating the impact of trauma or addiction, addressing relationship and intimacy issues or chronic shame, or unpacking dysfunctional family dynamics and low-self esteem. Integrating traditional talk therapy with mindfulness, holistic, and somatic approaches, we will cultivate the tools and the empowerment needed to help you reconnect with yourself, build self-trust, and heal from past experiences. Understanding that diving deep into emotional spaces can be challenging, I aim to create a container where you feel comfy showing up as you, ready to laugh, cuss, and cry all within the same session! Together we will create a space where you can unlock your potential and discover the intricacies of yourself. If this feels like the place for you, don’t hesitate to reach out. I’d love to hear from you!
Inner struggles often result in outward stress and confusion in relationships, parenting, work or school performance, and life enjoyment.

You deserve a fulfilling life that includes feeling good about yourself and enjoying your important relationships.
