The name Mindful Origins has many meanings and I hope you will take from this what speaks to you.

We all have an origin story. Being mindful about where things come from can help us through our day to day, when speaking to ourselves, when interacting with others, and when navigating this world full of emotions and surprises.

Mindful Origins was developed to be a safe therapeutic space to support adults through whatever life might bring your way. When crafting this name, I was reminded of the importance of incorporating our origins into our healing. The name touches on the importance of being mindful about our past experiences and how they impact us now, while remembering we have the power to make changes that will positively impact our present and future.

I offer therapy that is nonjudgemental, caring, open-minded, and authentic. I help individuals develop deeper self-awareness and self-acceptance, heal from trauma, manage stress, set boundaries, and deepen relationships. I use a trauma-informed approach and value each person's individual strengths and experiences throughout the process. Every client is treated as a whole person, keeping in mind that mental health cannot be isolated from other parts of our well being.

Trauma has a profound impact on the body and the way we interact with the world. Often, ill-equipped environments can perpetuate the unsafe feelings that become strengthened through trauma. My mission is to provide a safe environment so that clients can heal from trauma, become more self-accepting, and feel safer in their own bodies.
