The mind is the most powerful resource of the body. It is also, unfortunately, the least managed. It keeps a record of experiences and dictates emotions to us based on those experiences. What we think, feel, and believe impacts how we interact and perform. Often, more than we know. What I do is help facilitate mind and body realignment for the achievement of optimal performance in school, at work, and in personal lives. With an eclectic and flexible approach, I integrate mindfulness, motivational interviewing, cognitive-behavioral therapy, self-reflection, and different holistic approaches to address your overall well-being.

I believe that anyone can overcome their struggles with intentionality, and time. My job is to give you the care and insight to support your journey towards becoming your authentic self. While I do offer extensive experience in therapy, I make it my priority to understand you first. You know yourself better than anyone else. You also know what you’ve experienced and your innate need to be at peace.

You can feel confident that whatever your issue is, we can talk about it and together we can figure out an approach to alleviate your suffering.
