Great to meet you!

Life is complicated and fast moving. Life on life’s terms sometimes feels impossible to try and keep up. No one is immune to changes. It’s hard to accept and roll with the punches when your brain is telling you one thing, but your system/intuition is pulling you in the other direction. That feels scary and unfamiliar, maybe even causing you to miss out on life and all the possibilities hidden behind closed doors. Let me help you tear down those walls built by fear and kick open those doors to new possibilities. I embrace many therapy styles that can be compatible with what you need.

My approach to therapy

From bubbly and encouraging, nurturing and compassionate, to motivating and challenging I can help you make necessary changes to find inner peace. I am also certified in Brainspotting Therapy which is an approach to target where we store trauma, intense memories, or painful emotions in our bodies that can cause pain and suffering.

Brainspotting is beneficial in treating Trauma, PTSD, anxiety/depression, life transitions, and much much more. You deserve to live your BEST life. I would be honored to walk next to you on your journey towards change. Schedule your free fifteen minute consultation by reaching out by phone or email.

What you can expect from me

First session or two are introductory and rapport building. We spend that time getting to know one another leaving time to discuss some goals of therapy. I always work with you on finding those goals.
