Hi there! I am not one of those nod and “mmm hmm” kind of therapists, I’m more of a . . . “Let’s roll up our sleeves and get to it together!” I enjoy giving feedback and I love talking! It’s one of the reasons I was drawn to this field. Sitting down and sharing human connection is a passion of mine. Connection and a safe attachment to another is a primitive need that seems to have been forgotten about in recent modern times.

In session, I’ll teach you sophisticated therapeutic skills in a user-friendly, down-to-earth way. I enjoy helping clients shift perspectives and break free from the thought loops and the endless cycles that can easily consume and trap us. Together, we’ll work on healing old wounds, especially those from our early childhood, or most notably the “mother wound”.

As an integrative psychologist, I enjoy incorporating movement, meditation, nature, and nutrition alongside traditional psychological modalities. I specialize in helping others regulate their nervous system in order to allow for awareness and change. I help clients explore the connection between our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to more easily identify the negative thinking that prevents us from meeting our goals. My purpose is to help others shed unhealthy patterns and refocus on enhancing our quality of life.
