Licensed Marriage Family Therapist, Trauma Specialist

“I see you as a whole, perfectly imperfect being who has learned how to survive life in a certain way.  That way may have become maladaptive, but you don’t know how to change it.  This is where my passion lies, and where I can help.  I’m easygoing, warm, relatable, and compassionate. I’m creative and intuitive. I provide a beautiful, safe, comfortable environment for our transformational work. I use humor, and I prefer yoga pants and bare feet over business casual.”

“I believe life is a process and a journey not a destination. The therapeutic process is not only for the individual who is experiencing crisis, it is a journey of personal evolution: self-discovery, learning, personal growth and empowerment. I facilitate and guide my client’s process to support them in making conscious Life Choices.”
