I enjoy working with all kinds of people. Doing work on past trauma, depression or anxiety is hard work, and I respect and admire people who are willing to do it. Like physical health, mental health isn’t a one shot, once a week thing. I encourage clients to integrate self-care in ways that make sense to them. Life can be challenging. Things like anxiety and depression don't go away entirely. We change our relationship with them. We practice kindness with ourselves and others. When we feel depressed or anxious, we practice self-care. The work that I do will help you to learn compassion and understanding with yourself and others.

You are thoughtful, driven, empathetic, and navigating more than most people around you realize. Maybe you're entering a new chapter: a demanding career, a shifting relationship, or learning to understand those family dynamics that likely followed you into adulthood. My clients are in the thick of becoming; navigating the gap between who they were raised to be and who they are choosing to become. They usually overthink, over-give, and wonder why doing everything "right" still leaves them feeling anxious. If you're ready to understand yourself more deeply and choose your life more consciously, you're exactly who I work with.
