My Philosophy

I find the mind-body connection fascinating and am continuously exploring its capacity to adapt and to heal. Through education and exploration of the mind-body connection and the application  of practical coping tools, one can better understand the internal workings of the self and move more effectively toward healing and growth. 

I am passionate about providing evidence based therapies that have been proven to be effective, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Mindfulness Based Therapies. Through an integrative approach to treatment, I work collaboratively with each person to create a treatment plan that aligns with one’s comfort level, strengths, and aims to bring meaning and enjoyment back into one's life. 

I believe that our bodies and our minds are not the enemy and also acknowledge that sometimes things do go awry that negatively impact the way we function. Regardless of where our struggles may stem from, our healing comes from within. I guide each person in cultivating self compassion, self reflection, learning how to self soothe, and ultimately how to be one’s own friend. We may not be able to rid ourselves of all that ails us, but we can change our relationship with whatever it embodies, be it our own body or thoughts or predicaments, and we can learn how to make room for these experiences as we continue to live a life we value.
