Great to meet you!

My mission is that I want you to be excited about your life! Naturally, people seeking therapy and life coaching want a desired result. I am a mash up of Positive & Humanistic Psychology, an experienced clinician with a trauma-informed approach. Grounded in openness, honesty, trust, humor and confidentially. My passion is to empower you to recognize that you can become the hero of your own life.

A bit about my approach to therapy

We will work together to discover & create your desired Outcome followed by learning how to identify and apply your unique gifts and skills so that your Outcome becomes visible and attainable. I am trained in the practices of: attachment, existential, Life Coaching, peri & menopause brain/women's issues, and estrangement/enmeshment, polyvagal informed EMDR. You can learn to live life freely and authentically, thrive in relationships, and to experience true healing and growth.

What you can expect from our first session

I specialize in areas that drive vitality and strength in an individual. Those areas are: Relationship to self and to others, emotions, Body/mind awareness, Life transitions, anxiety, and relationships. I'm a wife, mother, daughter, sister and I have a story. I want to know yours. I am proud to incorporate all of my experience and insight into my practice. Ultimately, the goal is to uncover your passion and perseverance.
