Welcome-

I’m glad you’re here.

When we decide to seek therapy, we have come to a point in our lives where we need change- something in our lives is not working.

Maybe your mood keeps you from being your best self. Maybe your relationships are strained or stagnant. Or your behavior is out of alignment with how you view yourself and your fears for the future or pain from the past interferes with your ability to be in the present.

I take the approach that “we put out the fires, then we can rewire the house”. Depression, anger, anxiety, or challenging behaviors need to feel more manageable before we can function well and find stability. Once we do, we often feel called to heal old wounds— hurt, painful experiences, and trauma from the past are often the seeds of our distress in the present. Tending to old wounds with care and compassion can shift the way we relate to ourselves and others in profoundly healing ways.

The experiences we encounter on our path through life change and challenge us. By processing and integrating the past and the present, we support you living with intention, clarity, and purpose.

My goal is to support you in healing, and growing, and I invite you to work with me so you can walk the path you choose with mindfulness and self-compassion.
