I am a therapist who believes you have the capacity to heal. I also believe that everyone has a right to feel okay, to feel safe and supported, and to be healthy and well. I bring a diverse range of experiences and expertise to my work to support you in your healing process. While I have my own style, approach, and quirks, I incorporate mindfulness into my work with every client.

A core value of mine is to make my services accessible to everyone, and I strive to accommodate individuals with a wide range of needs. I aim to be sensitive to those with trauma backgrounds and use evidence-based practices informed by developmental and trauma-informed perspectives.

I practice mindfulness daily. Although they overlap, mindfulness and meditation are not the same so don’t be afraid that we’re going to recommend you start meditating (although it could be helpful too). Also, if mindfulness isn’t your thing, that’s fine too, I'm just happy to share a little bit about it with you since you’re here.

Mindfulness is simply bringing awareness to the present moment and accepting that what is at the present is. That last component, the acceptance piece, is often the most challenging. Mindfulness is not about what comes after awareness and acceptance, but merely a check-in and status update to what your experience is at present. From this perspective and space, one can then make choices with insight that will likely be more aligned with what your needs are, what is asking for attention, and are informed from a more wholistic, integrated view.
