Great to meet you!

How's your happy? Perhaps it's been on the decline, episodic, or maybe you've lost it altogether and can't even remember when or how. The truth is that life happens, and happiness can fluctuate. With a focus on integrated health and mindfulness, my goal is to provide you with the tools needed to boost your happy and get you back on the road to total well-being.

A bit about my approach to therapy

Every client is different...we'll work together to find out what might work best for you. While I'm a mind/body practitioner with a strengths focus, my practice is evidenced-based, meaning anything we do is backed by science.

  • Favorite tools include: CBT, EMDR, Mindfulness.
  • Certifications in Psychedelic Assisted Therapy and Ketamine Assisted Therapy (KAP).
  • Specialties: ADHD, Anxiety, Depression, OCD, relationships

What you can expect from our first session

We will begin by having a few "discovery sessions", where we discuss what brought you to therapy and explore the events that contributed to your current situation. We'll assess your current state of "happy", discuss treatment options and set goals collaboratively.

Consultations: Mondays scheduled via Headway calendar

Therapy Hours: T-F (11am CT/9amPT-7pm CT/5pmPT)
