With over 20 years of clinical counseling experience, my passion is to provide my clients with the insight they need to break dysfunctional patterns and behaviors.   Nothing is incurable, rather, all is cured from within.  My approach blends concrete solution based interventions with compassion and self-acceptance.  I take a unique approach to treating anxiety, depression, loss and trauma by empowering my clients to address areas of regret and shame by learning to treat all their feelings with kindness, acceptance and the space to be.  I believe that the foundation to all healing is through compassion and truly knowing your self-worth.  Therapy can be an amazing opportunity to give yourself the gift of healing, You are Worth it !

Licensed since 2000, I have 25 years of experience and have been trained/ utilize numerous mind- body evidenced-based interventions to treat trauma, anxiety, and depression.  Specializes in Somatic Interventions using Polyvagal Therapy (mind-body based) focusing on the body as the starting point to achieve healing.
