About
The shift…the moment when something shifts…in your heart, in your soul, permanently.
Therapy supports during times of major crisis and minor struggle. Each day, each step, each breath in your process is a part of your shift. To becoming who you are from who you were. Toward finding peace, joy and love. Connecting with your authentic self and connecting with others in a deep, meaningful way.
Connection
We all have a need for love, belonging and connection, with each other and ourselves. You and I will build our connection together. With compassion and empathy for your individual story. Your Story. Offering a braver space for you to share your experience, emotions or struggles.
Your path
It’s not easy to feel life without numbing to get through, especially when you don’t believe in yourself. I believe in you, in every human being and the power of healing. We will work in a brave space that we build together, where you can be yourself and do the work you need.
Building resilience through sharing our stories is what I stand for. I’m dedicated to learning more about you, with you, with hope. I offer unconditional support for your imperfections, suffering, confusion or pain, and for you.
I felt fine, yet never fulfilled
I worked as a Certified Public Accountant for many years and I always felt something was missing. A sense something else I was meant for was out there. Yet I struggled to know what that was. I was an elementary school teacher for some time. The expected path was followed because it was logical. Through therapy, yoga and meditation…I softened, listened and heard my authentic self. I let go of expectations from myself and from others. My personal fulfillment is being of service to others like you. I’m dedicated to sharing space and the opportunity for you to experience your shift.
My shift
I began individual therapy when conducting my search for my birth mom. Who knew why I would need it, but felt it would be a good idea to have a resource ready. Little did I know, I’d made a pivotal decision. I tried two therapists, but knew quickly into the first session something didn’t feel right. Once on the first phone call with my therapist, my intuition told me she was a great match. It only took one session with her and I knew I was in the right place. Many years and life changes later, my awareness and growth evolved. I gained important tools, developed skills and practiced self-care in my own process. Because it sure is a process. I’d be honored to provide the space for the same support for you and your process.
Inspired by those on my journey, I attended the Michigan School of Psychology, completed my Masters in Clinical Psychology, and never looked back. Most importantly, I learned how to give myself permission to be imperfect, to know I’m doing the best I can and breathe through the hard thoughts and emotions. I’m a therapist and a researcher. I’m a yoga student and a yoga teacher. I am a mom and a human. I love the moon, the beach and walking around barefoot. Unless I’m driving as the soccer chauffeur. I may or may not do that barefoot as well.
