“Healing is not becoming the best version of yourself. It’s letting the worst version of yourself be loved. Healing is saying every single version of me deserves love, deserves tenderness, deserves grace.”

Have you ever tried to “think” your way out of anxiety?

It often doesn’t work. Here’s why.………

Your emotions, and motivations are stored in your “feeling brain” or limbic system.

Traditional talk therapy typically only accesses your ‘thinking brain’ or prefrontal cortex in sessions.

That’s why traditional talk therapy doesn’t work for some people.. AND…that’s why many people can’t just ‘think’ their way out of anxiety.

In order to heal from trauma, anxiety, it’s critical to integrate limbic-system healing.

I specialize in limbic system therapies such as Mindful Therapy, Art Therapy and EMDR.

I view behaviors through the lens of survival, not pathology.

I practice mind-body therapy and offer a bottom-up approach to wellbeing.

I recognize that the body and mind are interconnected, and that experiences can become trapped in the nervous system.
