Getting to the bottom line of what is keeping you from being your “best self” (which is often self-confidence, self-worth and self-esteem) is my ever-present intention for you. We will gather and cultivate a new and powerful “you” so that your life will become easier to navigate. We will discover new tools to handle stress, unwieldly emotions and nurture the strengths that you already possess to deal with whatever life throws your way. Ultimately, I hope to create a safe space for you to experience yourself as someone who can live a successful and fulfilling life. Your heart’s desire is my wish for you.

My approach to therapy is simple, it is YOU-centered, holistic and in the present moment. This means, YOU are the focus of every session. We talk about ALL of the aspects of who you are, who you have been and who you want to be based on your comfortability. I have a large toolbox to draw from to facilitate your healing process. I use mindfulness/present moment awareness, solution therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, stress management, meditation and visualization (DBT), narrative therapy (your story, writing a new story), inner child work addressing traumas, mind/body connections to physical dis-ease, spirituality, and much more. I draw from my background in massage therapy, life and wellness coaching, holistic nutrition and wellness and Level 1 Hypnotherapy (deep levels of relaxation and “letting go”, NOT hypnosis).

My forte is working with adults so they can be healthy models for the children in their lives. This includes parents, culturally diverse individuals and those seeking to “find themselves” or build on what they have. Because there is always an underlying spiritual essence to my practice, those who have a sense of the Divine in their life, often find solace and inspiration for themselves as well.
