About My Clients

Life can be unpredictable, overwhelming and messy. As we navigate the ups and downs of being human in this moment, therapy is a safe, sacred space to pause and reflect on ways that small (and big) changes and shifts in thought can create a more lasting peace of mind. I strive as a therapist to support my clients goals, while gently challenging their false or limiting beliefs. I help folks from across the lifespan, and currently serving older teens through adults.

My Background and Approach

My approach is non-judgmental, compassionate and curious, and I respect each person's unique journey. I support my clients in noticing patterns of behavior that no longer serve them, and reconnecting with their inner Self, often incorporating somatic and mindfulness-based techniques. Modalities may include EMDR, IFS, CBT, DBT, ACT and art therapy.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe each person is a divine being having a human experience and deserves the dignity, respect and freedom to pursue their dreams. I support human rights across all peoples, faiths, genders, diversities, identities and ethnicities.
