As a holistic therapist and shamanic practitioner, I view problems as blessings pointing us in the direction of wellness. Whatever feels “off” in your life - depression, unhealthy relationships, dead-end careers, grief, loneliness, low self-esteem - is a symptom of a larger problem: an unbalanced and under-appreciated self. Using life's challenges as a guide, we work to build the foundation of self you need in order to live an enriching and fully human life. A few of my modalities include body- and breathwork, inner child work, psychedelic experience integration, and shamanic practices, based on your need and interest.

Did getting to this page take you a while to finally do? Let's face it, therapy can be really intimidating, especially if we've had a bad experience or have never been before. I can promise you my style of therapy is the furthest thing from intimidating. I want to hear you out, be with you in what you're processing, and make it less painful with more gains. In my office, we'll laugh, get real, and walk through whatever it is you need. It's my belief that we're not meant to go through life with an "it is what it is" mindset. It truly doesn't have to be, if you're wanting change we're going to find a way to get there together.

In the beginning there was fun, excitement and sex in your relationship. Now your relationship has moved to roommate status and you don’t know how to get the spark back.You love your partner but lately things have not felt the same. TV and phones have replaced long conversations and kids take up any “adult” time the two of you can have together. Sometimes you find yourself thinking some pretty negative things about your partner and sometimes they come out of your mouth, which leads to a fight or worse, stoney silence.
