I tend to be a more interactive therapist, engaging with my clients in a warm and non-detached manner. While I will not tell you what to do, I will neither withhold my experiences or emotions from you. I am also an integrative therapist, meaning I work with various therapies in accordance with what works best for each individual client. Furthermore, due to my yoga instruction and trauma-informed yoga background, I incorporate breath-work and mind-body connection into my practice, laying hold of the belief that experiences and emotions can be both stored in and released from the body. 

My own healing story includes challenging obstacles, like disordered eating and body dysmorphia, coupled with ongoing physiological anxiety. Thus, I have a heart for those suffering from similar ailments, but also enjoy working with teens, adolescents, and adults suffering from generalized or specific anxiety, depression, grief, religious trauma or transition, and relational difficulties. 

I believe that relationships are key to growth and change, and the counseling relationship is no exception. As a counselor, it is my passion to provide a space for you to be seen and heard, and for you to be the primary agent in your own healing. If you have repeatedly found yourself stressed or anxious by the experience of your mind saying one thing and your heart/body saying another; if you long to form a healthy and loving relationship to your physical body; if relationship to others feels impeded by forces outside of your control, I am a good fit for you. It is my hope and intention to offer time and space for you to relieve ongoing mental pain through connection not only with another person, but also with yourself. In short, I long for you to come home to yourself.
