Are you taking care of everyone else but yourself. Do you find that you have to keep busy all the time, or else it feels like you’re wasting time. Are the emotions so much bigger than you can handle, and yet people just tell you “it is not that big of a deal.” Is it hard keeping friendships, because you find that you do all the communication. Get the emo playlist ready, and let's dig into that shit together. I can help you to find ways to reduce the hold anxiety and depression has on you.

I specialize in working with artists, writers, performers, and innovators who crave a space to explore their unique minds. Together, we’ll tap into your creativity as a powerful tool for self-discovery and healing. I work with clients who struggle with: codependency, anxiety, OCD, life transitions, career changes, and adoption triad concerns.

As a singer and poet myself, I create a safe and non-judgmental environment for healing. I use music, movement, and my experience as an adoptee to guide clients to find their voice again. Now Licensed in Idaho, Vermont, and South Carolina for telehealth clients.
