Are you feeling stuck in life? Do you find yourself repeating the same habits? Do you desire to make changes, but aren’t sure how to go about it? Perhaps you have attempted to make changes but have failed to maintain them?  Ever wondered what changes you can make to have a life that’s more satisfying? Do you long to show up in life as your authentic self? Desiring a more fulfilling life, but lacking the energy, focus or motivation to achieve this? Wanting a deeper experience where you can feel truly alive? As a therapist, I help people that are struggling with feeling different, out of place or alone in the world. As a person who has spent my life living “outside the box”, I know the challenges of feeling like an outsider in the world. Personally, I never fit into the traditional model of getting married and starting a family while working up the corporate ladder. Instead, during my twenties, I turned inward, explored my true identity and emerged a skilled herbalist that has positively impacted the lives of countless others. Following this, I decided to become a therapist so that I can spread my message of being able to thrive as an outsider while managing the challenges of adversity that interacting with the world brings.

 

If my story sounds similar to you, I’d like to offer you a message of hope; It is possible to overcome the challenges of feeling like an outsider and learn to love and feel great about yourself. I know this because I did it myself and I would love to guide you on your own journey of self-exploration and recovery from mental health challenges.  Practicing from a space of empathy, authenticity and transparency I work with individuals experiencing substance abuse, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues and parenting challenges.

 

If you're struggling with substance abuse, I invite you to explore a path toward healing and recovery with me. Addiction is more than just a habit—it’s a complex challenge that often stems from deeper emotional wounds and underlying trauma. Many people turn to substances as a way to cope with negative moods and intrusive thoughts, only to find themselves trapped in a cycle of dependency. Together, we can identify and address the root causes of your struggle, including past experiences that may be driving your pain. With compassion and evidence-based strategies, I’ll support you in breaking free from addiction and building a healthier, more fulfilling life.

​

I am also a  passionate believer and advocate of the healing and restoring power of the natura world, I weave nature-based therapies, principles of yoga, and other eastern philosophies, and grounding exercises into my practice. Believing strongly that knowledge is power, our sessions together will include psycho-education that fosters self-awareness to help you identify and release blocks that are often rooted in trauma. As a person-centered therapist, I also draw from an array of evidence-based modalities including CBT, ACT, mindfulness-based practices, somatic modalities, existential therapy and emotion regulation techniques to apply the appropriate techniques that are tailored to your specific needs.

 

I invite you to reach out for a free consultation so that we can discuss your individual needs and hopefully get an appointment scheduled if we feel there is a good fit. I hope to hear from you soon!
