There is no time like the present. If you’ve found yourself here on my page, you have done what most can only dream of. You have taken the next step, one giant leap of courage, to do this work that you’ve been called to do. This work is not always easy, in fact it can be downright hard & uncomfortable, but it is necessary & rewarding. And with my guidance, hopefully the process can be more than just barrable, maybe even inspiring. It is scary to look into the abyss of uncertainty, but often my client’s find it was not nearly as bad as those nagging thoughts inside their head said it would be & many wish they had started sooner.

As an Integrative Health Practitioner, my approach to therapy is holistic in nature. The intention for my work is to empower individuals to love themselves through devotion to body, mind, and spirit. Together we can learn ways to develop a deeper sense of understanding, compassion, and acceptance of yourself. I offer an eclectic approach to this work which is Jungian informed, soulful, heart-centered, and intuitive. My work with clients often includes making room for our grief and acknowledging the ways grief is not honored in our culture. This work is sacred to me and I am deeply honored to join my clients on their healing journey.

It's during these times, that it's difficult to see your value and the strengths you bring to yourself and others. It doesn't have to stay this way. Therapy is an opportunity for you to work with someone to get the life you have always wanted - and to feel good again!

As a collaborative practitioner, I work closely with clients and explore experiences to find meaning while utilizing humanistic, psychodynamic and experiential techniques, changing the emotional triggers of trauma, thereby changing how you respond to the world. Therapy is an interactive and dynamic process, affecting the way we see ourselves. Everything we do makes perfect sense and to change what we do requires understanding why it makes sense. I work in a way that honors all parts of self. I am a Christian in the Catholic tradition and honor all religious and spiritual journeys.

The last few years have been difficult. Some have found their way towards stability and happiness, others still struggle and feel lost. Although this is a very challenging time for the world, I feel optimistic that as a society, we have been given the opportunity to re-evaluate the trajectory of our lives and to discover what brings us meaning and joy again. As a Therapist trained in CBT, ACT, Behavioral Intervention, and Existential Therapy, I have successfully partnered with many clients who felt lost, anxious, and unable to cope with the changes life has thrust upon them.
