I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Certified Life and Wellness Coach and Personal Trainer specializing in assisting individuals with an integrative approach to wellness. I practice a mix of contemplative psychotherapy, which utilizes the practices of compassion, acceptance, and mindfulness. I incorporate cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy practices which teach us to identify distorted thinking and correct the unhelpful "tapes" which play in our heads. Clients will feel supported and safe to explore their presenting issues and together we will work towards gaining clarity and direction. This is the foundation for healing. I specialize in counseling young adults, adults and couples experiencing anxiety, depression, having difficulty adjusting to transitions, dealing with grief, and issues of finding meaning in one's life. I am experienced in working with women surrounding issues regarding body image and self-esteem, mind-body connection, eating disorders and mid-life transition. Most recently I have become a CDWF (Certiï'ed Daring Way Facilitator(tm)) after training with Brené Brown, PhD. and her team. The primary focus of The Daring Way(tm) is on developing shame resilience skills and developing a courage practice that transforms the way we live, love, parent, and lead.
