Are you a helper, healer, or purpose-driven professional struggling with anxiety, depression, or overwhelm? Maybe you've been through trauma, spiritual awakening, or a life transition that left you questioning what matters now. I work with people (often people-pleasers) who want to process what's happened, manage the anxiety and emotional weight that comes with it, and find more alignment between their inner life and their daily life. Using EMDR, IFS, somatic approaches, and mindfulness, I help you move forward with more clarity, steadiness, and self-trust. Private pay: $250/session. Limited sliding scale. Consultations available.
I specialize in spiritual integration and transpersonal therapy for purpose-driven professionals, helpers, and seekers on a spiritual journey. With EMDR, mindfulness, and other humanistic modalities, I help you honor insights, find clarity, and stay grounded in your life, work, and relationships. Book a call today to get started.
By participating in counseling, you're sending yourself the message that you care how you feel ... that you matter, and that you're willing to do what it takes to make the most of this life. It starts with you, and I can help! Go ahead and book a consultation with me today. You can review my fees, sliding scale, and insurance options below.

Expect to hear a lot about Mindfulness when we work together. I find it to be an essential building block that will support all the other work we do. It will aid you in developing self-awareness and the coping skills you need to get through hard times gracefully.
