Philosophy

“Alleviating symptoms of emotional distress (such as anxiety or depression) is only the 1st stage of healing. Once people heal, they automatically start to expand their perspective on what they truly desire to be fulfilled.

I help my clients to gain more fulfillment by empowering them to develop intuition into their own healing and fulfillment needs. My mission is to help people use emotional challenges as insight for self-growth and evolution.”

As a licensed therapist, I offer a holistic, eclectic and multicultural approach to traditional psychotherapy. As a certified life coach I offer clients a higher level of confidentiality, privacy, and anonymity, than what is available when someone seeks conventional psychotherapy.
I provide high-quality service to a range of individuals, couples and families. By approaching complex issues with professionalism and a uniquely tailored perspective, I help clients manage stress, anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues that may arise from the pressures of their profession and personal life.
I work with a diverse set of clients to use emotional challenges as opportunities for self-growth. My holistic approach (includes life coaching, yoga, somatic therapy, meditation and hypnosis) to help my clients live the life they wish for. This structure develops accountability, alignment and integrity with your best and healthiest self. 
I have been a psychotherapist for 20 years and a life coach for 10 years. Psychotherapy supports people to develop confidence, improve relationships, and to cope effectively with life stress. As a life coach we go beyond surviving in order to thrive. I enjoy working with people to be intentional in how they live towards purpose and fulfill their legacy.

Approach & Experience

My holistic approach shows people how to get more Balance, Connection, and Trust in themselves and their life path in order to heal from the past, open to the present, and reinvent their future.

I offer a program of services to my client that combines psychodynamic coaching, homework (videos, worksheets, practices, and workshops), and somatic experiencing. This structured program supports clients in being accountable for developing the path of their most fulfilled life while empowering them to expand growth after our work is over.
