Great to meet you!

What if I told you that you already possess everything you need to be best version of yourself? Would you believe me? I do. I believe all human beings possess these qualities. However, too often, past trauma and current stressors steal away pieces of your true joyful self. As a result, you may feel depressed or anxious and may repeat the same negative patterns over and over again. Each time, you wonder, “What happened?” “This isn’t who I am!” Yet, despite your best efforts, the cycle continues.

My approach to therapy

Using a Holistic, trauma informed approach, I can help you find those lost pieces of your best self. Together, we’ll put them back together in a way that helps you heal and grow. I can teach you ways to cope with current stressors, as well as understand your past story so you have the tools to write the next chapters of your life to be the ones you’ve always dreamed of. I offer traditional forms of therapy as well as principles and practices from my years as a Yoga Teacher and Reiki Master.

What you can expect from me

My approach with clients is authentic, compassionate, and when appropriate, humorous. I view my work with clients in that we are two human beings on a journey. You are the driver, and I am the passenger. My job is to help you navigate your inner landscape. When our work is complete, you’ll have the confidence and tools to continue the journey on your own.


All potential clients are offered one complimentary 15-minute phone consultation. Please utilize my calendar to schedule yours.
