You're tired of always feeling overwhelmed, on autopilot, or stuck in your head with anxiety and insecurities. Self-defeating beliefs and patterns are seriously getting in the way of your goals, work, or relationships. And maybe you also struggle with food, body image, or past events / traumas that make you wonder if you'll ever feel okay in your own skin. Did I just just describe you? Let's talk. I'm not a passive therapist— I roll up my sleeves and give you tangible strategies to deal more effectively in the moment with difficult experiences, thoughts, and feelings.
I help my clients learn how to be more assertive and authentic, and less focused on people-pleasing, perfectionism, approval-seeking, and the "shoulds" that weigh them down. I use EMDR, ACT, IFS, and somatic/experiential techniques to bridge the gap between head and heart, mind and body. I also offer Gottman Method couples therapy and sex therapy.
I'm committed to helping you break through what's been blocking you from a compassionate relationship with yourself and deeper connection with your partner, family & friends. With this clarity, you're better equipped to engage your passion & purpose to contribute to the world in the ways you deeply desire.
