Great to meet you!

I understand that finding the right therapist is a deeply personal decision, and I strive to offer a space where you feel safe, heard, and respected. It know this is important becasue for years I struggled with anxiety and depression due to childhood trauma. It impacted my marriage, parenting, and career. I found healing through therapy and yoga. I would like to help you get on the otherside of overwhelm, intrusive thoughts, mistrust, and anxiety.

My approach to therapy

My approach is warm, empathetic, and nonjudgmental, offering you a comfortable environment to openly explore your thoughts, feelings, and struggles. In our work together, I’ll help you explore past experiences while honoring your pace and readiness.

Past hurts affect the brain and body, so we will intergrate mindfulness and somatic practices to expand awareness of our physical and emotional needs. This help with regulation and ultimately restoring a sense of control and well-being in your life.

What you can expect from me

Together, we can work on understanding and overcoming obstacles hindering your personal growth. Whether you're navigating relationship challenges, dealing with anxiety or depression, or facing stressful life events, therapy offers support, clarity, and new perspectives. I also focus on helping you identify and change longstanding patterns of behavior, thoughts, and emotions, which can contribute to issues like low self-esteem, addiction, or unhealthy relationship choices.
