Feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve you? Whether you're navigating through trauma responses, anxiety/ OCD, relationship challenges, or major life transitions, I'm here to listen and join with you to build the life you want. I will work collaboratively with you and your relationship to support you to reclaim your life in a way that honors your values, skills, and intentions.
I specialize in women's mental health and relationships, supporting individuals and couples navigate through life transitions, communication difficulties, and various mental health challenges. I am trained in a variety of modalities including ART, DBT, Narrative, and IFS approaches in order to find an approach that feels like a good fit for you.
Clients that I work with describe me as validating, authentic, direct, and someone who "gets it". Authenticity, compassion, collaboration, and humor are central to my practice and it’s important to me that you feel safe, respected and heard. Please contact me for your free 15-minute phone consultation to decide if this is the right fit for you.
