Many clients come to me when traditional talk therapy hasn’t provided the healing they hoped for. They seek a holistic approach to address the root of their pain and long for profound transformation. My clients often feel lost, on auto-pilot, or disconnected from their bodies, loved ones, and the world around them. Others feel overwhelmed by life’s demands or stuck in unhelpful patterns. Together, we create a compassionate space to foster connection, healing, and lasting change.
I entered graduate school in 2005 with a passion for understanding and learning to help relieve, a wide range of anxiety disorders in both youth and adults.

I love working with individual adults and teens (16yo and up) who are wanting to create more space for themselves in their world. That could look like finding new ways to rest, identifying triggers and tools to safely feel big emotions, learning to effectively communicate in relationships, exploring alignment and safety in your identity, getting your basic needs met, and so much more. Part of my work with teens includes parent/guardian education and outside resourcing for additional support.

Do you sometimes feel ruled by your past? Like there’s a story you've been telling yourself that doesn’t quite fit anymore, but is tough to deprogram. Perhaps you've begun exploring your own identity/ies in various ways, differentiating from your family’s expectations, and asking yourself the big question “Who am I?” and could really use a guide and witness to help make space for your evolution. You’ve read, listened, and followed but nothing has changed. You don't have to work so hard alone.
My clients typically come to me feeling anxious, lonely, depressed, isolated, and lonely - like something big is missing from their experience of living, but they can't quite put their finger on it.

They are desiring a gentle space to explore their desire for true belonging and self-love.
