I treat anxiety by helping you understand how it affects the nervous system. Through psychoeducation, you learn that anxiety is a natural stress response, not a personal failing. I teach calming techniques like breathwork, grounding, and mindfulness to regulate the body and bring a sense of safety. Using Somatic Experiencing, we gently explore how anxiety shows up physically, allowing the body to release stored tension. This holistic approach not only eases symptoms but builds resiliency.

I support those facing relationship challenges by focusing on healthy boundaries, assertive communication, and radical acceptance. Together, we clarify emotional and physical limits, helping you express your needs clearly and confidently. I guide you in practicing assertiveness to foster respect and authenticity in relationships. We also explore radical acceptance—acknowledging what cannot be controlled or changed in others—so you can release resistance and gain empowerment.

I help clients break free from codependency by identifying and challenging limiting core beliefs about themselves and the world. Many internalize beliefs like “I must earn love” or “My needs don’t matter.” Together, we uncover these patterns, explore their origins, and replace them with healthier, self-affirming truths. Through compassionate inquiry and therapeutic tools, you will build self-worth, reclaim autonomy, and learn to prioritize your well-being.

Using Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), I help clients develop practical emotional regulation skills to navigate intense feelings with greater ease.

DBT offers a structured yet compassionate approach that empowers clients to manage emotions effectively, improve relationships, and create balance between acceptance and change in their dai

By noticing where stress or emotion lives in the body, we create awareness and space for release. Clients learn to recognize signs of activation and practice techniques to signal safety—like grounding, breathwork, and gentle movement. This process supports healing, regulation, and a deeper sense of embodiment and trust in one’s own nervous s

Using Humanistic therapy, I offer a non-judgmental, empathic space where clients feel safe to show up authentically. Rooted in compassion and deep listening, this approach allows each person to lead with what feels most present and important. I trust in my clients' inner wisdom and create space for self-discovery, growth, and healing—meeting them with presence and acceptance as they explore their needs, values, and truths at their own pace.

I treat anxiety by first psychoeducating clients about the nervous system and how anxiety triggers the fight-or-flight response. Understanding this helps reduce fear and self-blame. I then teach calming exercises, such as breathwork and grounding techniques, to regulate the nervous system. Using Somatic Experiencing, we explore how anxiety manifests physically, allowing the body to release stored tension.

I treat relationship issues by helping clients establish healthy boundaries, communicate assertively, and practice radical acceptance.

This approach fosters mutual respect, personal growth, and healthier, more fulfilling relationships.
