About My Clients

I can offer help with feelings of overwhelm. If you’re having trouble coping, not feeling like your old self. If you’ve found yourself feeling depressed, anxious, or confused. You are not alone. We are living through unprecedented times and I’m here to offer you a compassionate ear, guidance, and skills you can use to become more empowered, help you get unstuck, and feel more joyful.

My Background and Approach

I am a holistically trained psychotherapist which means I work with you as a WHOLE person; using your own resilience and life experience along with learning new skills to help you create the life you want. Using a combination of practices we will incorporate research-based methods along with identifying and strengthening your own intuitiveness. I am a certified Somatic EMDR Practitioner and utilize a framework that allows for you to process in a way that is safe, productive, and empowering.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

My role is to help you bring balance into your life. While we may have experienced life changing events, we do not need to let our trauma define us. I operate from a person-centered approach and believe we all have the capacity to heal already within us, sometimes we just need support and guidance from others to help us along. I believe healing happens in connection; I would be honored to help you on your healing journey.
