Making an effort to seek help is a brave step - one that can bring healing, growth and change. I provide an affirming, supportive space for you to explore the issues that are important to you, reconnect with your values and inner direction, and challenge unhealthy behavior patterns or thoughts that are holding you back from living your full potential.
Specialties
When an overwhelming life event occurs, your brain can freeze in response. Rather than process and store the event in your long-term memory, the brain may leave the episode in its emotional region. This unprocessed, static memory can linger, triggering patterns of negative beliefs, feelings, and physical symptoms. EMDR is an evidence-based therapeutic approach that heals past wounds so you can be fully present in the life you want.
Holistic therapy includes all aspects of your being: mind, body and spirit. I blend elements from a variety of approaches and tailor them according to each client’s needs and goals. This can include traditional psychotherapy approaches with lifestyle balance, spirituality, and somatic interventions.
I integrate body-based processes and techniques to help you release nervous system stress, blocked emotions and stored traumas in your body.
I utilize a cognitive behavioral framework to help you identify and challenge cognitive distortions and barriers getting in the way of reaching your goals.

Juggling a family, career, relationships, and societal expectations as a woman can be challenging. I help women who are looking to change the course of their relationships by breaking unhealthy patterns, setting boundaries, overcoming people pleasing and perfectionism, building self esteem, and embody the full version of themselves.
I use a trauma-informed, integrative approach to treating many behavioral, physiological and emotional disturbances, including PTSD, flashbacks, depression, anxiety, panic attacks and dissociation.
My work with clients involve exploring the underlying thoughts, feelings, and related experiences associated with anxiety as well as the body’s response to stress. I use evidence-based techniques to build skills and awareness around triggers and symptoms. We will work together to uncover the underlying causes of your worries and fears, learn how to sooth yourself, look at situations in a new, less frightening way, and develop better ways to cope and problem-solve.
Nothing in life compares to the pain of loosing someone (or something) that was dear to your heart. These significant losses are never simple, nor singular, rather they involve a myriad of complex emotions that can feel consuming at times. I work with individuals at any point of their grief journey. Together, we will make space for your loss and put together a toolbox of techniques and skills to help you navigate these challenging times.
