My Approach to Helping
Are you feeling stuck? Maybe struggling with recurrent worry and stress? Are your existing coping skills or therapy approach not getting you the results you're looking for? You might be thriving in some aspects of your life, but feeling challenged or unfulfilled in other areas? Well, you're not alone. We all struggle with some level of anxiety, stress, lack of motivation, and other negative feeling states. It's part of being human in this very complex and demanding culture that we live in today. With so many things "to-do" and goals to accomplish, many people feel disconnected from what truly matters and brings meaning to life. Can you relate?

How My Own Struggles Made Me a Better Therapist
Mental, physical, and social wellness weren't always core values of mine. I lived a significant portion of my life stuck in a cycle of anxiety and stress, unhealthy relationships, and chronic health issues. It took a deep desire to live my fullest life in order to change. I have devoted much of my adult life to understanding the connections between mind and body, through years of clinical training and education, meditation, yoga, and self-compassion practice. I do practice what I preach and teach, because I know it works!
