I am friendly, kind, gentle, supportive, knowledgeable, and empower you to reach your potential. Whether you are looking for a Soul Makeover or some support through a trying time, welcome! Let's do this together.

Struggling with how much your world has changed in such a short time? Feeling anxious, on edge, and uncertain? If your anxiety has been triggered by current events, you are certainly not alone. But in some ways, that makes it harder. Everyone is worried and hurting, including you. You can also feel it tapping into some old stuff, magnifying how lousy you feel. You have worked so hard in your life to feel in charge and on top of things but now feel out of control and helpless. It's not a good feeling. Even worse, your usual coping mechanisms -- going to yoga class, getting coffee with a co-worker, or throwing yourself into work -- have been taken away for now. There's no real end in sight and you're not sure what to do. We understand how awful that feels and want to help. The therapists at Nova Terra Therapy work both online and in-person to help clients like you to identify and deal with both old and new anxiety triggers. We use a variety of approaches but are particular fans of blending cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and EMDR. Using this combination, we help you to get at what's happening in both your mind and your body when it comes to anxiety-provoking or traumatic events. We've found that these two heavily-researched evidence-based treatments are particularly effective at giving our clients efficient, long-standing relief.

Life comes with all kinds of ups and downs. We all experience some kind of trauma throughout our lifetime. We often wear so many different hats, carry so many roles and we are responsible for so much in our everyday life, we end up neglecting ourselves. No two people are the same, therefore my counseling approach is personalized to meet your specific needs. You are not in this alone, let’s take this journey together.

I am your personal life, love and intimacy coach dedicated to guiding you to clarity in order to reaffirm your life's foundation.

My therapeutic relationship with you will quickly alleviate your emotional discomfort as well as help you grow as a person and develop new psychological abilities.

I have a passion and an interest in supporting children, teenagers, adults (including LGBTQIA+ community) and veterans with depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues, trauma, anger management and work or school-related issues. I also have experience in supporting couples who want to work on improving communication skills and building a stronger relationship.

Everyone struggles at some time or another. That's life. And when the struggle becomes unmanageable, that's where I come in. As a sensorimotor trained therapist I offer a calming, non-judgmental, and supportive environment to explore your struggles. Part of that exploration may involve how your past intrudes upon your present, and your future. We work together to make sense of what is troubling you so you can become empowered to make the changes that will benefit your life. Are you worth that exploration and making those changes? Absolutely! I look forward to connecting with you.

I have been in private practice seeing adults and couples since 2004. I love my job and feel so fortunate to be able to work with people on living their best lives. I tailor sessions to the needs of the client- whether setting measurable goals, processing emotions in a safe space, changing habits or increasing self awareness.
