You are unique and expressive and maybe a little weird. You need a therapist who will understand you. Someone you can talk to about anything. Someone who will support you on your journey and not judge you for who you are and where you've been. I'm here to give you that support. As someone who has experienced a lot of what life has to offer, from small town to big city to things in the desert, I know what it is like to take a journey and I would love to support you in your journey.
I am a holistic, humanistic LMFT with a degree in Transpersonal counseling, which means that I include body, mind, soul and spirit in our work, whatever these mean to you. I also pull from my training and experience using expressive arts, art therapy and somatic therapy.
Looking inward can be difficult. The journey forward has many challenges. Luckily, you do not have to do it alone. As an experienced adventurer and compassionate therapist I am here to help support and guide you as you explore the deepest parts of yourself. Reach out now for a 15 minute phone consultation. I look forward to working together!

I work primarily with adults who feel stuck and are looking for personal growth. This often involves uncovering issues from childhood and young adulthood. I work from a transpersonal lens and appreciate people bringing in their truest (sometimes weirdest!) selves. Shame is an important topic to me.
