I offer a highly individualized holistic approach to individual therapy for adults who are struggling with their mental health or challenging circumstances and want to not only feel better but thrive as people who want to befriend their core as well as their shadows and be a vehicle for growth and change in their lives as well as their chosen family, friends and community at large.

I combine evidence-based therapeutic approaches primarily from Attachment Theory, Poly-Vagal Theory, EMDR, Somatic Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Reprocessing Therapy, Relational Therapy and Transpersonal Psychology.

In addition to my formal clinical training, I have learned Transcendental Meditation, and studied Qigong and Ayurvedic & Buddhist Psychology. I’m a registered kundalini yoga & meditation teacher and a Reiki Master and I apply many of these principles and practices to my personal emotional and physical health as well as my clinical practice.

It's not our problems that define us but our ability to recognize them and our willingness to work on them and start the journey towards personal growth, self-compassion, health and healing. Asking for help is a strength, not a weakness, and the journey never ends so my gift to you is to offer a safe space where you can learn new skills and tools to grow and heal and connect with your inner sources of strength and wisdom to build a strong foundation to support you through the challenges that may lay ahead. It is possible and I know you can do it!
