My mission is to help individuals embrace resilience and find peace and joy in their journeys.

My approach to therapy

In your healing journey, my role is to be a guide and facilitator, helping you identify areas of growth and challenge as well as victories. I am a holistic practitioner using contemplative practices as well as strength based and cognitive behavioral approaches, bringing in the psycho-spiritual when appropriate.

What you can expect from me

In an open, affirming and warm way, I hold space for my clients to encourage them to show up their authentic selves. When they do that, they are able to release the things that are not serving them to give room to the abundance of possibilities. They are able to access their strengths and their to live life to the fullest!
