Some of us are born with really big emotions and they can be difficult to rein in. Being sensitive is a double-edged sword. It comes with an extraordinary capacity to be lively, connected with others, generate insights, and experience life with great intensity. However, without solid regulation skills, we can also suffer tremendously and get lost on our path. This might describe you or one (or more) of your children. It may feel like the relationships in your family are strained or chaotic – in a way that is hard to get out of. You are not alone!
That is where I come in! We can work on untangling what is happening and find a way to a more confident, calm, and meaningful life. My role is to be present, value your expertise, understand your experience, and find a path we can travel together to meet your goals. Whether you, your child, or your family are struggling - there is a way through!
I got into this field because I genuinely love people from all walks of life and their stories fascinate me. I work with children (age 10+), teens, adults, parents, and families. If this sounds like a good fit, or you would at least like to check out what we can accomplish together, I encourage you to reach out. I look forward to hearing from you!

I like to offer a mix of deep-delving and skill-based methods. We can decide what is a better fit together and adapt collaboratively as we move through the process. Sometimes, less is more. Sometimes more is more!
