Introduction

Life can be hard. So many of us face difficulties and challenges at different points throughout life. We might feel scared, sad, alone, overwhelmed. Helpless, hopeless. We might become angry with others and even turn against ourselves. Sometimes we may lose sight of the moment and of ourselves and it becomes difficult to find any kind of meaning or purpose in life. Finding an anchor in the present, cultivating awareness and understanding, and finding compassion for your inner voice and emotional repertoire can be healing, and can cultivate new relationships not only those around you, but also within yourself. I utilize a holistic approach that is carefully tailored to each individual. I often integrate emotion focused, cognitive and behavioral, and mindfulness-based theories, and may also incorporate somatic therapy techniques. Most importantly, I strive to create a safe, secure, and diversity -affirming therapeutic environment where you can just be you. You are not alone. It can be so hard to seek help and support, especially when you’ve been struggling and suffering on your own. Reaching out is an incredibly important and courageous first step. I would be honored to walk with you along your journey so that we can figure things out together. ~~~~~~~~~~~ If you'd like to sample a few of my meditations, relaxations, and guided imagery practices, please feel free to visit me on Insight Timer.
