What is a “mindful parent,” exactly? A mindful parent is the one that asks: how do I know that what I am doing is preparing my child mentally and emotionally for an increasingly complex future?

Healing doesn’t happen in isolation but in connection. I care deeply about co-creating a safe, nurturing therapeutic space, one where you (individually or with your partner/family) can identify and divest yourself of the internalized narratives and patterns that no longer serve you. Our beliefs are shaped largely by the stories we have been told all our lives - by family, peers, culture, religion, and larger systems that we may not even be aware of. In partnership, we can examine what narratives you want to hold onto and which ones hold you back from living in alignment with the person/couple/family you want to be.

Seeking therapy can be a daunting process but you have the power to begin your journey toward healing and create a positive change in your life. Let's begin the work together.

Now accepting clients! My philosophy in therapy is that when you have a good rapport with your therapist, setting and achieving goals as well as healing is made a lot easier. I use a client centered approach where the client takes the lead and I as the therapist am there to both guide and support the client. My goal is for the client to feel empowered through therapy. My clients often learn to trust the decisions that they came to on their own and feel comfortable using me as a resource throughout the process.
