Are you looking for support in removing what is blocking you from loving who you are, doing what you love, and connecting with the people you love? I can help you develop more positive relationships and become more aware of what might be stopping you from moving forward in your personal and professional life. I provide an empathic environment that opens the way for self-discovery. I hope that you will feel supported and more confident as you take steps toward living a life you feel passionate about. I approach therapy as a collaborative process, working with each client to fully realize their own goals, desires, needs, path, etc. This varies from client to client as I meet each individual where they are and base each contact on their individual needs. I strive to communicate with clients in a safe, non-judgmental, and compassionate way. I also use somatic approaches such as guided meditation and breathwork. My number one goal for all of my clients is to help them get to a place of more self-trust, self-compassion, and self-love. Wouldn't it feel amazing to trust yourself so much that you don't constantly second guess yourself, over-analyze, or question every decision you make?

Seek holistic well-being, personal growth, and lasting change? As a Marriage and Family Therapist, my unique approach blends systems thinking, Zen Buddhism, and cybernetic wisdom. I believe in transformation through understanding interconnected systems. We shift from working against ourselves to working with ourselves, and from battling circumstances to embracing them. My approach resonates with those who are ready to embrace personal accountability and who seek to explore the depths of their inner worlds. It's for individuals, couples, and families who are open to transforming their relationships and lives through a non-judgmental, holistic, and systemic approach. What sets me apart as a therapist is my commitment to providing a non-judgmental, blame-free space that fosters self-discovery and growth. I draw from Zen Buddhism, channeling the wisdom of luminaries like Alan Watts, to help clients find peace and mindfulness in their journey. If you're ready to embark on a transformative journey, reach out.
