Being a leader or career professional is hard. You face pressures and demands that can take a toll, leading to nights staring at the ceiling worrying about that uncomfortable meeting in the morning, a desire to please people, and maybe even unhealthy levels of stress and anxiety. The stress of your responsibilities and interactions at work might be causing you burnout; you might even be noticing your confidence decline and your relationships suffer. You don’t have to sacrifice your mental health for your career. Let’s uncover the most grounded you with love and self-compassion. It’s time for some heart-centered therapy.

We often hope that negative and unhelpful feelings and behaviors will go away on their own, and while some do, others seem to linger and make life more difficult. As a counselor who embraces Emotion-Focused and Attachment Therapy, there is an opportunity to change unhelpful feelings into ones that empower and motivate you toward success and healing. With a passion for working with all people looking for help and healing, I strive to provide an atmosphere where everyone will feel welcomed, heard, and encouraged in each session. I offer holistic and personalized counseling to fit your unique needs and those of your loved ones.

Life experiences have a way of influencing how we see ourselves and others. As a Spiritual Director, I invite people to take a journey towards healing the soul by discovering the presence of the Divine in all life's moments. If you are looking for a safe and open space for that journey, I am happy to companion you. The soul thrives when we discover our true selves. I invite those from various faith backgrounds as well as those who are feeling the 'tug' to know more about this soul work.

My Philosophy and Approach: I believe that each person is resilient and has the ability to heal, change, and overcome various barriers. My goal in therapy is to offer sensible tools to allow healthy coping and emotional growth while increasing self-esteem and independence. Each individual has a right to self determination in which they are encouraged to determine what is best for them regarding the present, the future, and the goals they set for themselves. I take a holistic approach while also implementing evidence-based neuroscientific and body-based approaches.

I work to build trust and create a safe space for people to explore themselves and their relationships. Relationships are the bedrock of society, change, and connection. Having a good sense of self requires having a good relationship with yourself. Having fulfilling relationships increases our ability to cope with life, has long term positive effects on our physical and mental health, and makes us happier. If you’re aware that you struggle with the same cyclical issues, it means you’ve awakened to the fact that what you’ve been doing isn’t currently working for you.

"Only when we are brave enough to explore darkness will we discover infinite power of our light - B.B". Through a healthier understanding of our patterns and past we will gain the ultimate goal of therapy: unconditional self-acceptance.
