Great to meet you!

I offer an eclectic mix of a strength-based, person-centered model, grounded in neuroscience and contemplative practices to work with difficult emotions, self-esteem/identity, relationships and life transitions. I work with both children and adults, and offer individual, couples and family sessions. I welcome the opportunity to explore what is present for you and work towards that place of well-being/health, basic goodness, authenticity and aliveness.

Trained as a Gestalt therapist and Play therapist, I work with coming in contact with what is present in the moment, and find ways to resolve or address those challenges. I also have 10+yrs working in Domestic Violence, with extensive training in somatic approaches to work with trauma and other mental health challenges, offering Thought Field Therapy (TFT - "Tapping"), EMDR & Mindfulness.

We all face challenges, that may feel like there is no way out or hope, but together, I trust that we can find a way back to not only well-being and basic goodness, but thru support and greater understanding, to that place where you can thrive and feel alive.

My approach to therapy

Understanding what stands in the way of client feeling they are living the life of their dreams and seeing how they might achieve being in that place.

What you can expect from me

Exploring what is present for the client, then coming up goals or outcomes they would like to work on during our sessions,
