I care deeply about helping adults with anxiety, grief and major life change learn to cope with genuine compassion and reverence for the web of their life experiences. I work with people who feel trapped by self doubt, endless thought spirals, unfulfilling relationships, or patterns that are hard to break. We are not meant to go through any of these things alone. I help to re-ground, create new meaning in life, and enhance emotional intelligence. I enjoy working with women across the lifespan, those going through major life transitions, concerns related to pregnancy/postpartum, new grads, and those who have lost someone they love.
I offer space and deep attention, drawing on mindfulness based strategies to facilitate greater balance within and reduce anxiety. I recently participated in an experiential grief retreat that allowed me to deepen my understanding of my own past, how to better support others in their healing and experience greater aliveness in relationships.
I became a therapist because I understand the necessity of having a village to help hold us in difficult times. You can expect a greater sense of belonging, resilience, and capacity for gratitude. I would love to be part of that village for you and to help you see all that you are worth, let go of what is no longer serving you and live a more joyful life.
