Specialties: Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, Anger Management, Attachment Issues,

Introduction

I approach therapy with the belief that humans have a primary need to find meaning and purpose in life's situations, particularly in regard to past painful experiences. Whether you're suffering from anger, depression, anxiety, grief, addiction, trauma, or relational distress, my focus—guided by my training and years of experience—is to equip you with the tools to reduce suffering and help you see that there is light at the end of the tunnel. I aim to create a warm, accepting atmosphere where you feel comfortable discussing your struggles. My goal is to address the root causes of your concerns rather than just focusing on symptom relief. I provide practical tools to help you heal, with ongoing feedback and encouragement to apply them outside of our sessions. Therapy, to me, is not simply a place to vent, but an opportunity for real inner transformation. If you are struggling to feel whole, happy, or at ease with yourself or your relationships, I can help. I integrate mindfulness, somatic therapy, and cognitive-behavioral approaches in my practice. By blending ancient meditation practices with modern neuro-biological insights, I help clients connect their body and mind to release old habits and tap into their inner wisdom. This holistic approach encourages real change and a more joyful way of living. I am a certified Mindfulness Meditation Teacher and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, with extensive training in various psychotherapy modalities.
