As a therapist and life coach, my goal is to help you feel both empowered and at peace with yourself and your life and to guide you on a positive path to growth and well-being. Through our work together, I seek to help you uncover your true self, find your voice, & align your values & life choices. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. Simultaneously I will introduce you to tools and strategies that may help you better navigate the stress and anxiety of life and hopefully enable you to experience greater peace, joy, and well being.
My specialty is integrative & holistic therapy infused with mindfulness and energy psychology/management, . I combine an understanding and appreciation of individual, relational, and systems influences on behavior, health, and relationships. My background is psychodynamic, relational therapy, and attachment theory. I love to help people connect the dots.
Whether you're looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging situation or you're just ready to move in a new direction in your life, I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals. Please email me for an individual or couples therapy consultation or a life coaching session today.
