What it’s like working with me:

I offer a collaborative space where clients are supported in exploring their experiences with honesty and curiosity. I have a deep appreciation for the way in which relationships, past experiences, and environments shape the way we think, feel, and respond. An important part of this work involves the development of cognitive, emotional, and physiological awareness. Recognizing how emotions and experience show up in the body and mind creates improved clarity and deeper insight into our patterns and struggles. Empowered with this understanding we are more able to create the intentional changes that bring us in greater alignment with our values.
