Are you struggling to hold onto joy and inspiration, feeling depleted, burned out, discouraged by life sometimes? Your inner critic or past traumas might be wearing you down, along with stress and overwhelm. Maybe you want to feel more empowered and more at ease with yourself. Maybe you feel stuck and need a supportive ally.
I've been a licensed psychotherapist for 17 years. I work with the whole person - body, mind, and spirit - with mindfulness and body-centered techniques when we want to go deeper than talk therapy. I help clients come home to the body and increase self-understanding and self-compassion, especially when traumas have made this hard.
It's a courageous step to reach out for help! Know that I will always show up with compassion and an open mind and heart. No matter what you've been through, you deserve for your stories to be heard and your burdens lessened. Even if therapy hasn't worked in the past, there's hope in trying a new approach.
With the right therapist, you will feel truly seen and safe. I love helping clients release the shame, traumas, and limiting beliefs keeping you stuck. With effective tools such as Internal Family Systems (IFS), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Mindfulness, we enable healing on the deepest levels and help bring you home to a more loving relationship with your body and your self. These evidence-based techniques add a creative, experiential element to traditional talk-therapy and build self-compassion and empowerment. I'm also a certified mental health and nutrition specialist, able to help enhance your well-being through safe and simple dietary practices.
I ACCEPT INSURANCE!
Self-Compassion
For so many reasons, it can be hard to give ourselves the patience and kindness we so badly want. Maybe people-pleasing and perfectionism feel like the only way to get our needs met. Maybe we weren’t taught as children that we are inherently good and worthy of love. I can help you unlearn these mistaken beliefs and start to live as you deserve to: feeling whole, healthy, supported, and empowered.
