As an avid runner, I believe there is a strong connection between the mind and body and I incorporate a holistic approach in therapy. Whether it is offering nutritional suggestions on foods that help alleviate depressive symptoms, or helping clients identify a form of exercise that helps them reduce their stress, I look at my clients as 'whole people' rather than a collection of symptoms. Creating a safe space for my clients to explore their difficulties and find solutions is most important to me.

There are countless methods for healing & moving forward. Commitment to my clients begins with a firmly held belief in the ability of individuals to advocate for themselves & choose their own path. Emotions & feelings are a gift; they are the natural barometer for navigating our lives. Often we fear or misinterpret those emotions & fall into a holding pattern as to how to move forward. The best work is done when we are honest and open about who we are, and where we want to be. Interventions are guided through your ideals & values.

Feeling lost? You’re not alone. Some people may find themselves in a life that may not be worth living. Some may find themselves so immersed in taking care of someone else that they forgot who they are. Others find themselves in a place where they are told that their life is just beginning, but they have no idea where to start. Let’s find YOU together. It can be difficult to organize and have a true understanding of ourselves. For some people, you may know how you’re feeling and even why you feel that way, but you don’t know how to make it better.

I have been helping people open the jars, read and understand the labels, unstick them and apply new labels, for 20 years, and I would be happy to help you and/or your family, too.
