Hello and welcome! I’m so happy you’re here. I use a mind-body approach to teach coping skills and how to shift your emotionally anxious state to a more relaxed state. I can help you develop a more integrated felt sense of a past situation and help you achieve lasting healing on current issues, staying less restricted by them in future situations. My goal is to help you become a more authentic you, one that can experience all your feelings, so your actions come from a conscious and true place. Often what you know to be true is very different from what you feel deep down. I have a special interest in helping older adolescents and adults through individual counseling understand and deal with the complicated feelings and emotional upheaval often associated with anxiety, self-esteem concerns, shame, co-dependency, relationship issues, life transitions, and trauma. Expect to experience insight and impact early and continuously in our work together. As an integrative therapist, I employ different evidence-based models and tools in treatment. My working style is non-judgmental, and I endeavor to bring curiosity, humor, empathy, patience, and respect to our relationship.
