Healing is more than fixing what's broken—it's about creating a life that truly resonates with you. If you're someone who's spent hours thinking through your struggles, doing the "right things", and still feeling stuck, you're not alone. Let's navigate a fresh perspective together. Whether it's exploring your history, envisioning future goals, or uncovering the impacts of a society not built to support or allow contentment, I understand your journey is unique. Join me as we work towards unlocking a more meaningful and purposeful life tailored just for you.
My approach is grounded in a recognition that our struggles always exist in the context of our environments and histories. I weave mindfulness and positive psychology into sessions, supporting a path toward better than just "okay." Trained in clinical hypnosis, EMDR, ACT, and CBT, I bring a diverse toolkit to tailor sessions to your unique needs.
I am currently accepting new clients and welcome your e-mail! Your initial consultation is free. I see clients either virtually throughout the U.S. and internationally, or via ecotherapy walk-and-talk sessions locally in Gainesville.

I draw from cognitive, somatic, and positive psychological approaches when working with anxiety, trauma, and life transitions. We will focus first on strategies to help you feel more in control of your present symptoms and struggles. We can then turn to working with the underlying concerns to help you feel confident moving forward that real change is happening.
