I want you to wake up in the morning and truly have an appreciation for yourself and this life you are creating. All parts of it: the struggles, the joys, and the mundane moments.

But it’s okay if you don’t love your life just yet. Actually, it’s quite normal if you find yourself focusing more on all your missteps and how your life is just not measuring up.

I’m not smart enough… not pretty enough… not healthy enough… not successful enough… not motherly enough… I’m just not DOING enough!

You ARE enough.

You have ALWAYS been enough.

You will ALWAYS BE enough.

You deserve a life free of the negativity bias of “not enough.” And that journey starts here, with me as your guide.

I know it can be painful to watch your children suffer as well. Hearing them say critical comments about themselves and their self-worth is enough to break your heart.

You want so badly to teach your kids early on that they are unique and special just the way they are, but at times it’s a struggle – for you to articulate and for them to hear.

Whether your or your child’s unhappiness is a result of early traumas, unfit parents, bullying, mental health issues, or deep-rooted insecurities, YOU can learn to embrace it all and still love your life.

You are not broken, and you are NOT your past.

Have compassion for the bruised parts of yourself. You were meant to love yourself. You were meant to have a good life.

I will shine my light so that you can see yourself clearly – see your potential, your gifts, and your worthiness. I will lend you my light until you find the courage to see it for yourself.

I want to be your guide because even though I haven’t met you yet, I know your pain, I have walked this path before, and I truly believe in your purpose and ability to heal.

“Life is an incredible curriculum in which we live richly and passionately as a way of awakening to the deepest truths of our being.”

–Ram Dass

Therapy with me will take you on a journey inward where you will learn to extend compassion to all those aspects of yourself that have been wronged or wounded… and experience a transformative healing that will allow you to grow into the person you were meant to be.

I will guide you through gentle nudging, mindfulness exercises, meditations, and visualizations as you learn to visit those aspects of yourself that are screaming for attention and meet them with love and compassion as you integrate all parts of yourselves.

Our therapeutic relationship will act as a safety net as you learn to bring your shadows into the light, embracing all parts of you as worthy and valid.

My wish for your therapeutic journey is that you learn many things…

… to make friends with your mind by freeing yourself from negative thought patterns,

… to learn to forgive others,

… to forgive yourself for how you have treated yourself,

… and to ask others for forgiveness for how you have treated them.

Through this process, I am going to teach you how NOT to abandon yourself in your time of need – to fully feel all your emotions and still function – to show up for yourself!

Therapy is generally NOT easy, but you’re capable of doing hard things.

When you begin to learn to challenge negative thinking; release trapped emotions in your body; free stored traumatic memories; and make a shift so that your mind, body, heart, and soul are in alignment, your life might just begin to feel a little bit more at ease.

We can come together and create a personalized guide for your mind, body, and soul that will help you move beyond surviving… toward truly thriving.

I believe that life is a curriculum, and that there are so many ways we can learn to embrace our challenges as lessons and continue to grow in pursuit of a life we can love completely.

So, whether you are starting therapy out as a child, teen, or adult, the aim will be the same: to help you discover that you possess the power to create a fulfilling and purposeful life… and to support you on your path.

As an emotionally sensitive child, I was desperate for someone to validate my own emotional experience. But, even more than that, I was drawn to wanting to understand and get to know all of my emotions.

I recognized early on that these feelings were part of my inner compass. By honoring and validating each one of them, I was learning to tap into their wisdom as an emotional guidance system.

This awareness has allowed me to create a life that I truly love.

I’ve had many struggles along the way… and so many times I just couldn’t figure out why life had to feel so hard and so unfair.

As a teenager, I found myself searching for answers and began reading any self-help or memoir related to mental health that I could get my hands on.

I quickly realized that I had a thirst for understanding the psychology of the mind and wanted to dedicate my life to reducing the stigma around mental illness. I have dedicated my career to helping others heal.

I feel that it is my mission to help them realize they are deserving of so much more peace and happiness. Ultimately, I want to help them EVOLVE!

… including traditional psychotherapy, mindfulness-based techniques, energy psychology, and somatic treatments, I will support you in learning to guide your mind, body, heart, and soul to find peace and alignment.

I specialize in the treatment of children, adolescents, and adults who are struggling with or want to improve their quality of life vis-à-vis trauma, anxiety, depression, parenting, or spiritual matters.

I also use the healing properties of crystals, sound bowls, essential oils, and spirituality to facilitate a deeper healing, as necessary.

I am with my family swimming, hiking, and playing with our goldendoodle. I also love yoga, dancing, and making gemstone bracelets.
