About My Clients

If you have been carrying your pain alone for too long, and know a shift is needed in your life, I can help. I work with individuals and couples facing attachment based anxiety, histories of trauma, and ongoing family dysfunction. If you are looking to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression and understand the root of your pain to find freedom in self, I may be able to help.

My Background and Approach

My background in Pre-Medicine Biology and Mental Health within my education inform my approach as a therapist. I focus on the root of emotional distress while also providing education on what is happening in the body while stress is occurring. My approach is based in family systems, seeking to understand what informs the patterns you participate in life that cause dysfunction. We will seek clarity on how to provide compassion to the experiences you have had and focus on removing shame from your human experience by utilizing a body-based approach.
