I believe that we all have the potential to heal and grow. As a practitioner, I create a safe and supportive space that allows your unique, individual process to unfold and be known. 

I was introduced to Focusing many years ago in a therapeutic setting where I used it for my own personal growth and emotional healing. I have come to see that Focusing is a foundational process that underlies and supports any healing modality. 

In my 20s, I began to experience anxiety and struggled as it got worse and began having severe panic attacks. I tried various approaches to get relief: pushing it away, keeping busy, and seeking therapy. Some of these tactics brought brief relief and therapy gave me support, but I still longed for true healing and transformation. My therapist introduced me to Focusing and my life changed. I learned to listen deeply to myself and gain self-awareness, began healing old wounds, released anxiety, and broke through stuck places to experience true and lasting change. Building this relationship with myself was profound. My transformative, healing journey through Focusing inspired me to specialize in this modality and to help others find healing and transformation through it.

I am grateful to facilitate life-changing experiences for others through the  practice, teaching, and continued learning of this dynamic and deeply healing therapeutic process that is Focusing.
