Great to meet you!

Clients working with me are committed to Soul Work, an introspective journey to discover the “Authentic Self.” With inner clarity, we design a life emphasizing meaning and purpose. I use traditional psychotherapy and experiential therapy, incorporating art, journaling, and somatic work to explore beyond verbal articulation.

My approach to therapy

Though talk therapy is helpful, sometimes in exploring ourselves we may find parts that go beyond verbal articulation. This is where expression and symbolism can provide a voice that verbal communication cannot. While self-discovery is valuable, I also understand many seek practical ways to manage symptoms and improve quality of life. My unique approach provides an additional layer of support for healing. Together, we can explore the best therapeutic approaches tailored to your needs.

What you can expect from me

Our first meeting will be an intake session that will allow me to get a better understanding of your life experiences and goals for therapy.

Therapy requires deep inner work, courage and dedication. My hope for you is that you can experience feelings of deep inner-joy, peace, love and freedom! Contact me to take the first step towards a healthier, more meaningful, resilient life.
