Great to meet you!

Freedom of mind. Worrying offers no return on your investment. Having worked in the field for over 20 years, with experience as a certified clinical trauma professional, and extensive work with clients experiencing anxiety, trauma and problems related to upbringing, I’m able to help clients identify their triggers, implement strategies for change, acceptance, improve distress tolerance, and move forward in their journey to a healthier, more grounded and peaceful internal dialogue.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I deeply understand people and their needs. I have extensive experience guiding individuals from all walks of life towards greater clarity, wellness, fulfillment, and peace, providing them with the reassurance they need. My approach emphasizes cultivating a freed mindset essential to a healthy, productive, and enjoyable life. It also emphasizes improving communication, managing expectations, and establishing and maintaining healthy boundaries in interpersonal connections.

What you can expect from our first session

Together, we will:

Identify thoughts, hurts, and behaviors interfering with fulfillment and peace, implementing strategies for improvement during weekly sessions with life work resources. Let’s begin together today.

I specialize in working with people who:

Have lived experiences with trauma and problems related to upbringing, and those who are generally leaders balancing work, family, self-care, and opportunities for growth and advancement.
