Congratulations on your commitment to your mental wellness. With over 30 years in practice, I have worked with a wide range of clients & concerns. Many are high-functioning individuals navigating stress, loss, trauma, or life transitions, seeking more than symptom relief. Others feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected, even without a clear reason. I work collaboratively to understand your full experience & support meaningful change, integrating insight, practical strategies, & body-based awareness to help you build resilience, deepen self-understanding, & move forward with clarity and intention.
I am an integrative humanistic–existential therapist grounded in trauma- & grief-informed care, who works with the whole person, across mind, body, & emotion; balancing depth work & personal change. Expertise with first responders, healthcare workers, animal care community, & those navigating life stressors, transitions, & loss. Learn more on my website.
Reaching out for support isn’t always easy, especially if you’re used to handling things on your own or are unsure where to start. Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just "off" doesn’t mean something is wrong with you. You don’t have to sort it out alone. We can take the time to understand what you’re carrying and find a way forward that fits for you.
