Welcome! I’m glad you’re here and appreciate that it can take a lot to start the process of finding support. I believe we all have the capacity to experience satisfaction, fulfillment, and joy in our lives. Let's explore the barriers to these things- both internally and externally, increase self understanding, and develop coping skills for the challenges you face. Life can be hard and we don’t always get to choose our circumstances but we can try to find ways to get through the best we can. I use a holistic approach with a backdrop of trauma focused, racial and social justice informed, and compassionate care.
I have experience supporting individuals across the lifespan with concerns related to relationships, polyamory/open relationships, work-related stress, self-esteem, boundary setting, life transitions, sexuality, trauma, depression, anxiety, perinatal/postpartum experiences, and caregiving—especially for older adults and those with dementia
If you’re considering starting care, I invite you to reach out. I’m passionate about helping people build self-awareness and discover new ways of being. I look forward to the opportunity to partner with you on your journey toward healing and growth.

I work with clients using a dual approach: How do we deal with the here and now to reduce day to day distress? And then how do we unpack and process the historical events and mindsets that are arising so we can promote long term healing?
