My practice is heart-centered, and based on empowerment and choice. I believe we all have the ability and the right to live in deep and meaningful connection with ourselves and others. We often hold core-beliefs that get in our way: I am not enough, I am not lovable, etc. These core beliefs frequently show up as emotional patterns of depression, anxiety, relationship issues, or other life stressors. In therapy, we begin by understanding these core misconceptions, and learning skills to slow down the busy mind enough to notice them in the moment. When we notice, we create space to make choices to feel differently. I help people develop a practice where emotions can exist without judgment, where fear and anxiety and sadness can exist without becoming who we are. New patterns then emerge: patterns of confidence, ease, and connectedness. By incorporating mindfulness, cognitive-behavioral, quantum psychology, hypnotherapy, and mind-body techniques, I hope to teach and allow others to hold a deep sense of compassion for themselves and the world. I am honored to join individuals and groups on their journey toward healing, and living in a state of infinite possibility and joy.
