Accepting New Clients- I offer a non-traditional approach to therapy that integrates IFS, ecotherapy, grief work, Jungian mythology and other modalities to help people reconnect with who they are and how they want to live. Many people today feel disconnected from themselves, uncertain of their path, or overwhelmed by the stresses and pace of modern life. Transitions, loss, and change can leave us feeling disoriented and untethered. Yet feeling lost can also be the first step toward finding your way again.
Through personal exploration, inner-parts work, meaning-making, connection with nature, and building healthy relationships, I help clients reconnect with themselves and live a life with more meaning, vitality, and authenticity. Healing is more than reducing symptoms. It’s remembering who you are and restoring a sense of wholeness, purpose, and belonging.
I’d be honored to walk beside you on this journey. Let’s connect to see if my approach feels like a good fit. I work with clients via teletherapy and welcome you to call, text, or email to take the next step. I look forward to hearing from you.

One of my specialties is helping people navigate life transitions. The birth of a child, entering adulthood, loss, relationship changes, or major shifts in identity can leave us feeling uncertain or lost. These moments also hold the potential for deep growth. I help clients reconnect with meaning, purpose, belonging, and their unique gifts.
