I specialize in helping anxious adults, teens, veterans, and first-responders with anxiety, burnout, PTSD, perfectionism, relationships, and social & academic anxiety with a whole-person approach. Together we work towards getting you unstuck, improve your confidence, and attain greater self-awareness.
When we meet expect a warm, friendly, compassionate posture: I want to understand you, what you need, and hear your story. As an integrative therapist I gently guide you towards growth and healing with a solution-focused plan incorporating neuroscience, mindfulness, and cognitive reframing and more. I'll help you externalize problems with narrative therapy integrating creative therapies like cinema/play/game therapy, eco-psychotherapy and other evidence-based therapies.
I bring into every session my 17 years of combined experience as a certified holistic wellness coach and psychotherapist to meet you where you are working together to get you where you want to be. As an integrative professional I've supported a diverse clientele of adults and children from all over the world achieve their goals. When we meet you'll have a non-judgmental space to explore what's on your heart and mind, and together we'll design a plan that's easy to understand, easy to do, and help you gain strength to confidently move forward.
As a certified medical family therapist I'll provide you with a holistic approach and compassionate care for cancer, PTSD, traumatic brain injuries, vicarious trauma, menopause, chronic pain, childhood anxiety, reproductive health issues, pregnancy loss, depression, moral injury, and illness.
As a graduate of Fuller Theological Seminary, I welcome integrating evidence-based practices, neuroscience, mindfulness, creative therapies with faith to support your well-being as desired.
