Great to meet you!

I believe that true emotional healing comes from holistically tending to the body, mind and spirit. I offer full range psychotherapy services that are combined with several Somatic or body-based techniques, such as yoga. Being mindful of our body, breath, thoughts and emotions, creates a greater sense of wellness.

My approach to therapy

I specialize in integrative psychotherapy. I use a variety techniques to help my clients work through their trauma, grief, anxiety and etc. I specialize in looking at the whole client in their environment to assess and treat not only their symptoms but the root cause.

What you can expect from me

If you are hurting, anxious, sad or feel that there are some things that are holding you back from you achieving your fullest potential, I invite you to let me guide you back to center. I will create a holistic minded plan to help you heal and enjoy this beautiful life again.
