Great to meet you!

I provide a proven mind-body integrated approach that helps adults heal from the impact of trauma, addiction, anxiety, interpersonal problems, self-hate, and more. I am a lifelong learner with vast training and experience in internal family systems (IFS), yoga, polyvagal theory, mindfulness, and self-compassion. I bring a nonjudgmental, compassionate, and open-minded to work with my people.

My approach to therapy

My approach is based on the fundamental belief that we are all doing our best, and have the inner wisdom, and strength to heal, and become our true selves. While I work with a variety of clients, I specialize in working with clients who have experienced trauma early in their lives (e.g., unstable home, divorce, single parent, etc..), anxiety, and addiction.

What you can expect from me

Client's can expect to take away a new perspective on their life, the ways they have adapted, and a new appreciation / compassion the different parts of themselves. They will develop more self trust, confidence, and clarity about where they have been, and where they want to go in their life journey.
