About
“Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?” Mary Oliver. You are ready to stop getting by and to start enjoying your life. Your tried-and-true practices are no longer working. You want and need new coping skills to handle what you’re faced with today. Anxious thoughts or low mood are having a bigger impact on your relationships or daily routines than you thought, and it is time to make a change. Your body is sending you signals you can no longer ignore.
From a mindfulness perspective, we will uncover your needs and reveal patterns and behaviors that don't serve you. We will identify roadblocks to your well-being, and collaborate to improve your quality of life and sense of Self. Mindfulness, breath-work, and experiential practices will serve to teach you to set boundaries and regulate your nervous system.
As a therapist, I intend to know you as fully as possible, creating a unique space to process the why and collaborate on the how. We will explore your past or current stressors and create pathways toward healing. Reaching out can be difficult, I am here to walk you through the process. I want you to feel seen and heard, as well as, confident and hopeful.
