LMHC, 20 years of experience
New to Grow
I’m an integrative therapist with nearly two decades of experience helping clients heal, grow, and reconnect with themselves. My approach weaves together the best of Eastern and Western traditions—including clinical psychology, mindfulness, somatic awareness, and energy medicine—into a holistic, personalized process that honors the whole person. I believe that symptoms are not "problems to fix,” but signals pointing toward deeper needs, imbalances, and opportunities for transformation. In my work, I specialize in natural solutions that address the root causes of distress while supporting your innate capacity for healing. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, life transitions, grief, or patterns that feel hard to change, I offer a compassionate space to explore what’s arising and to develop tools that bring balance and resilience. Together, we’ll draw on practices that quiet the mind, restore the body, and reconnect you with your own wisdom, so that healing feels less like a struggle and more like a return to your true self. Beyond treating immediate challenges, I also teach practical and powerful tools for self-care—strategies you can carry into daily life to feel grounded, resourced, and empowered long after our sessions. My intention is not only to help you move through difficulties, but to support you in cultivating a sustainable sense of well-being and wholeness. At the heart of my practice is the belief that each person has the capacity to heal, adapt, and thrive when given the right support and guidance. My role is to walk alongside you with presence and care, offering an integrative approach that brings together science, mindfulness, and timeless healing traditions to meet the unique needs of your journey.
our first session is a chance for us to slow down and create a supportive space where you can begin to share what’s on your mind and heart. We’ll start by exploring what brought you to therapy, what you’re hoping for, and what feels most important to you right now. I’ll also ask some gentle questions to learn more about your history, current challenges, and strengths, while leaving plenty of room for you to guide the pace and depth of what you share. This initial conversation isn’t about fixing or rushing into solutions—it’s about beginning to understand your story, your needs, and the intentions you hold for your life. Together, we’ll start to clarify the areas you’d like to focus on and I’ll introduce some of the integrative approaches we might draw from—whether mindfulness, somatic practices, mind-body strategies, or practical coping tools—always tailored to your unique situation. By the end of your first session, you can expect to feel heard, supported, and met exactly where you are, with a clearer sense of how we might work together. You’ll also leave with initial practices you can begin using right away to help you feel more grounded and resourced between sessions.
What clients often notice first about my work is the way it brings together both the science of psychology and the wisdom of holistic healing traditions. Rather than relying on a single method, I weave together mindfulness, somatic therapy, mind-body practices, cognitive-behavioral tools, and energy medicine in a way that’s personalized to each person I work with. This integrative approach allows us to address challenges on multiple levels—mind, body, spirit, and community—while honoring the natural rhythms and needs of your unique journey. My work is never about “fixing” you, but about creating a compassionate space to listen more deeply to yourself, uncover the root causes of distress, and reconnect with your innate capacity for healing and transformation. Clients often share that this process helps them feel more resourced, grounded, and equipped not only to navigate present challenges but to carry new skills and perspectives into all areas of their lives. Ultimately, what stands out about this work is how it supports both immediate relief and lasting change—helping you move from overwhelm and disconnection toward resilience, clarity, and a renewed sense of wholeness.
I’m especially honored to serve clients who are seeking more than surface-level solutions—those who feel ready to explore the deeper roots of their challenges and reconnect with their own inner resources. Many of the people I work with come to therapy navigating anxiety, life transitions, grief, or patterns of self-criticism that leave them feeling stuck. Others arrive with a sense that something in their life is out of alignment, even if they can’t yet name exactly what that is. I often work with clients who are curious, reflective, and open to holistic approaches that go beyond traditional talk therapy. Whether you’re looking for relief from symptoms, searching for natural and sustainable ways to feel more balanced, or longing for a greater sense of meaning and wholeness, I offer a safe, supportive space to do that work. My clients value having practical tools they can use day to day, while also embracing therapy as an opportunity for growth, self-discovery, and transformation. If you’re seeking to cultivate resilience, deepen your self-awareness, and learn to meet yourself with more compassion, I may be a good fit for your journey. Together, we’ll honor both the challenges and possibilities of where you are, creating a path that supports healing in mind, body, and spirit.
Since 2012, I’ve been guiding clients through Mindfulness-Based Therapy as a way to come home to themselves. This practice isn’t about fixing or forcing change, but about learning to meet your thoughts, emotions, and experiences with awareness and compassion. Together, we’ll cultivate presence so that instead of being swept away by stress or old patterns, you can respond to life with more clarity and ease. Over time, this mindful way of relating to yourself creates space for healing, balance, and a deeper sense of wholeness in your everyday life.
Since 2015, I’ve been supporting clients with Somatic Therapy, a body-centered approach that helps release stress and unresolved experiences stored in the nervous system. Instead of staying only in the mind, we gently bring awareness to the body—its sensations, patterns, and wisdom. Together, we’ll explore how your body holds and expresses emotions, allowing space for healing, regulation, and deeper connection to yourself. Over time, this practice can restore a sense of safety, ease, and vitality, helping you feel more grounded and at home in your body and your life.
Since 2012, I’ve been incorporating CBT into my work as a way to help clients consciously recognize and redirect patterns of thought and behavior that no longer serve. This approach offers practical and empowering tools for cultivating emotional regulation, resilience, and a greater sense of being equipped to navigate life’s challenges. Together, we’ll bring awareness to how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence one another, and use that knowledge to create shifts that support healing, balance, and more ease in daily life.
Since 2015, I’ve been working with a mind-body approach that begins with the understanding that your body and mind are one living, intelligent system. In our work together, we’ll explore gentle somatic and mindfulness-based practices that help you listen to your body’s signals and create compassionate space for what arises. By honoring the dialogue between sensation, emotion, and thought, you’ll discover your innate capacity for healing, growth, and lasting change. This integrative way of working restores balance, resilience, and a grounded foundation you can carry into everyday life.
Since 2015, I’ve been practicing Integrative Therapy, weaving together evidence-based methods and timeless healing traditions to support the whole person—mind, body, spirit, and community. As I work with clients to support healing, personal growth, and transformation, my approach brings together the best of energy medicine, mind-body practices, mindfulness, somatic awareness, and cognitive-behavioral sciences. This personalized process helps you flow through resistances, become more resourced, and tap into your natural human capacity for navigating change. Our work together is collaborative and adaptive, creating pathways for deeper healing, growth, and alignment with your authentic self.
