Life can present us with many challenges, and it can be difficult to figure out where to go next. It is not uncommon to feel tense and overwhelmed or to find yourself reacting in ways that leave you feeling confused, lost, and disconnected. Whether you’re an individual hoping to feel connected to yourself again, or a parent looking for some extra support, I am here to work alongside you to find a path forward.

My approach is collaborative and centered on understanding your unique story. Together, we’ll explore the next steps in a way that feels meaningful to you. I draw from a number of different modalities that aim to help you make room for uncomfortable and painful experiences and soften the inner critical voice that often emerges.

I appreciate you landing here. I would be happy to start with a 15 minute phone consultation to answer any questions and determine if I am a fit for you.
