Over the years of being a therapist, I’ve noticed we as people spend so much time trying to become better versions of ourselves, but what if who we are is already enough?

We are all capable of living a meaningful and fulfilling life and I believe we already have the wisdom and attributes to get there. At times however, we lose sight of these tools either from choices we’ve made to survive, or from events we can’t always control. Learning to tune back into our thoughts, body, feelings, needs, and desires, we can unlock the self that has been waiting to re-emerge. 

My clients say I’m relatable, compassionate, and a little sarcastic, often fraught with numerous and painful “dad joke” caliber analogies on life. I focus much of my work on helping people reawaken their sense of self through mindfulness and skill based work. Once a strong foundation is formed, the work of healing and flourishing can occur. Therapeutic work is not always easy and your journey is unlike any other, be patient and kind to yourself while you honor your history and create a future with confidence and empowerment.
