Great to meet you!

If you’re here, you might be going through something difficult, and I want you to know you don’t have to face it alone. I'm dedicated to helping individuals navigate the complexities of life (adulting, relationships or parenting). Whether that be feeling disconnected from yourself, going through the motions (of daily life or relationships) and wondering what engagement in life would feel like. If traditional therapy has not worked to improve trauma, you may benefit from gaining an awareness of your body's sensations & expanding your ability to hold the emotions that arise.

My approach to therapy

My role as a Counselor is to provide therapeutic guidance, and support to create an environment for change. I believe each person has the ability to heal and grow, but we all get stuck or have fear of change/the unknown. I use techniques that focus on healing trauma, reducing anxiety and depression through body (somatic) awareness, mindfulness, and creating new beliefs about yourself.

What you can expect from me

If traditional therapy has not worked to resolve your trauma, you may benefit from including a focus on your body's sensations & expanding your ability to hold the emotions that are present.
