It can be very scary to reach out finally to get the support you or your child or family may need. You've taken the first step and we can work together on all the rest. I believe that you know you best, so I walk alongside you, focusing on goals and solutions to get you to where you'd like to be. I offer in-office, virtual or eco-therapy walking sessions. If working with your child, we will explore how emotional awareness and regulation, using age-appropriate tools/visuals, can help your family move forward with healthier communication habits and help you to foster stronger, more trusting, relationships.

With a solution focused, strengths based approach, I seek to use past and present circumstances to carve a path forward that will result in greater self-awareness, self-acceptance, and overall wellbeing.

Seeking help can feel overwhelming and scary, but it is often the first step towards healing. In the growth process, it is critical to have a warm and perceptive guide to provide tools, insight, and safety. As unhealthy relationships damage, healthy relationships heal. The therapeutic alliance has over and over again been found to be one of the most influential factors in producing positive change. My aim is to build that alliance and work with you towards wellness.

I help adults and couples break free from unhelpful relational patterns so they can experience meaningful, lasting connection—with themselves and with others. If you’re feeling unheard or stuck in frustrating communication cycles with the people you care about most, you’re not alone. Maybe conversations with your partner turn into arguments or end in silence leaving you avoiding tough conversations or snapping in moments of anger. You might be holding on to unspoken frustration or resentment that has built up over time. Perhaps you’re wondering if the love you once felt together is slipping away.

Are you looking for a holistic therapist? Do you want to reconnect with your authentic, true self? Do you have this sense there is supposed to be "more"? It is so easy to forget what we come into the world inherently knowing - that we all deserve to be seen, to be heard, and know that we matter. In our work together, we will venture on a journey of remembering who you truly are and unlearning all that you are not. By working with all pieces of you – mind, body, and spirit - we will break down what has built up over time that is no longer serving you and reconnect with the truth underneath.
