Short Bio or Description of your Practice (Optional)
We all have a unique journey, an unfolding story to tell, and crossroads to navigate on our path through this life. At times this path may be difficult, painful, or unclear; we may feel lost and unable to find a way forward or change direction alone. It may be a crisis in a family or relationship, ongoing anxiety or depression, addiction, trauma, difficulties with work or school, or an inner sense that things are just not right.
Our natural state is one of joy and well-being but sometimes life experiences and the beliefs that result can cause suffering and distance us from our sense of wholeness.
The transformative process of therapy can improve symptoms, restore joy, enhance resilience, and increase the capacity to care for oneself and create meaningful connections with others. Leaving behind old patterns of thoughts and behavior can free you to experience growth and open up possibilities that were not apparent previously. Successful navigation of your path can provide a sense of purpose and help to steer life in a meaningful direction. We can grow from challenges and derive meaning from difficult experiences by committing consciously to that task in a caring and supportive environment.
I encourage personal development and facilitate effective change by focusing on strengths, resilience, and increasing capacity for feeling by working with both mind and body. Treatment is tailored to each individual with a strong emphasis on the cultivation of insight, acceptance, and self-compassion that can lead to lasting change.
I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Michigan State University and a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from UMass Boston with a certificate in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I have completed 3 years of Bioenergetic Analysis somatic therapy training. I also provide Ketamine-assisted Psychotherapy.
My goal is to offer compassionate support and guidance on your path to living a wholehearted, purposeful and joyful life!
