Specialties: Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, Anger Management, Bipolar Disorder,

Introduction

Reaching out for help may not always come natural, but it takes courage to honor the instinct to change. I would be truly honored to create time and space with you on this path to transformation. My holistic approach to therapy encompasses the connection between mind and body. In other words, instead of purely focusing on thoughts and beliefs that brew in the mind, we explore where they also live in the body. I'm also a certified Yoga Therapist and Brainspotting practitioner, utilizing eye positioning and body awareness to promote processing trauma. For Couples, I love working with couple dynamics as they grow into their relationships. I also help those with trauma work through relational issues that may be a result of the unresolved trauma through couples counseling. I also believe in providing LGBTQ+ informed and affirmative care. I utilize my trainings to help assist those struggling with anxiety and finding healthy ways to cope with overwhelming emotions. I look forward to working with you!
