(She/Her)


“The greatest sources of our suffering are the lies we tell ourselves.” 

– The Body Keeps the Score


Our mind and body have a boundless desire to move towards healing, which for the individual can feel terrorizing, because that requires moving towards that which is painful. As a therapist, I consider it a privilege to assist individuals, as they walk through and process life experiences and traumas. At the time of many life events there is limited space and/or resources to support healthy processing, resulting in the wounds we carry. Life, work, and relationships can leave us feeling burnt out, numb and reactive. Our ability to live life to the fullest often hinges on the meaning, perspectives and our resulting choices. In creating a safe and non-judgmental environment, I seek to provide an opportunity for individuals to explore a deeper sense of self and discover the life they want to live.


Let’s work together and explore how our human nature, to create meaning, when meaning is inconceivable, has resulted in narratives and beliefs about ourselves, others and the world, which have left us wounded and isolated. Attempting to live from a place of hollowness and isolation acts as a barrier to a meaningful life. It would be an honor to work with you and/or your loved ones. I look forward to meeting you and supporting you in accessing your meaningful life.
