I am passionate about providing education and empowerment around the mind-body connection. We learn to understand how the mind and body may be in survival mode and how a learned response may no longer serve us. Holding space allows for the body and mind to create space from imprinted thoughts & emotions in order to see choice in self-talk, belief systems, behaviors, and gain acceptance of ourselves. We learn how to rewire/rewrite our narrative through self-compassion.

I am accepting new clients! As a client I want you to feel welcomed ... I also know that relationships take time. ... I will never judge you ... I will talk to you about what you want from therapy. ...

I believe that people come into therapy because they find themselves stuck and unable to move forward in their relationships, careers, or personal pursuits. Oftentimes we get stuck because the things we did to get through difficult times in our lives stop working -- or worse, make our lives more difficult. Maybe you have found that you are unable to access the full range of emotions, experiences and relationships that life should encompass and now it's time to become the best and truest version of yourself that you can be. I hope I can help you do just that.
