I work with individuals seeking support for mental health conditions including anxiety, panic, trauma, grief, attachment wounds, low self-esteem, chronic pain, life transitions, and unhelpful relational patterns. Together we can cultivate a new path of self-awareness, behavioral change, and self-care. Compassionate self-exploration includes increasing emotional awareness, understanding the origin of your beliefs and wounds, and identifying your needs, values, strengths, and options while skillfully navigating obstacles to healing.
I use a holistic, integrative, and interpersonal approach that utilizes a cultural, systemic, and attachment lens and includes evidence-based interventions, such as CBT and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, somatic therapy, and mindfulness. I am certified in yoga therapy and mindfulness facilitation with extensive training in somatic interventions.
I will support you on the path toward creating a richer connection with yourself and developing skillful navigation for life’s inevitable challenges. Your courageous work will help you create a fulfilling life with meaningful connection, self-empowerment, and purpose.
