I work with intelligent motivated clients who are functioning relatively well in their lives but may feel stuck in certain areas. Whether it’s a relationship, career, health issue, life transition or some other emotional or mental roadblock that has you feeling like you’re not functioning at your best, we can get down to the root of it, get clear on direction, move through it and move forward. Depending upon your needs and desires, we can also address health issues simultaneously. This is an additional optional opportunity to have another perspective in addition to other health professionals with whom you may be working.
As a Functional Medicine Naturopath, I can help you look at mind/body connections. The body speaks in symptoms instead of words! Using a solution focused, holistic approach, we’ll get in the trenches together, brainstorming; coming up with techniques, methods and options that may be helpful, guiding you to your own inner wisdom and clear direction.
I know that finding someone to work with can sometimes be challenging. It’s important to find someone with whom you resonate. I offer a complementary 15 minute consult to answer any questions you might have and see if I may be the right person for you. My goal is to have you feel safe, supported and gently guided to your own inner power for direction.

I use different techniques and ways of doing therapy depending upon the person's experience and comfort level. My goal is to help you feel safe, supported, guided; willing to be open, vulnerable, willing to learn and try new ways of functioning and interacting in the world. If we do what we've always done, we'll get what we've always gotten. Change can be scary but I'm here to help and guide you.
