Imagine coming to therapy, unpacking your concerns, & being met with genuine care/zero judgment. Life sometimes seems like an exhausting or impossible challenge, especially when facing issues with mood, relationships, betrayal, trauma, health, transitions, addiction, grief, or identity/faith crises. If you feel stuck in the past, fearful about the future, or overwhelmed, you have come to the right place. You don’t have to live this way! Hope, joy, peace & healthier relationships could be just around the corner! Ask me about push-with-purpose coaching & personalized sound bath/meditation, if this might be a better fit for you!
I help you plant seeds of change, so that you can grow a beautiful, healthy garden of your choosing through self-care, healthy habits, & boundaries. Therapy is a space to connect with yourself, nurture your connections, & improve coping/communication skills. Personal life growth, parenting (now grown children), & teaching have influenced my counseling style.
I am here to accept you just as you are, through an authentic, therapeutic relationship. I'll help you define and create the life you deeply desire. I absolutely love my career and consider it a high privilege to work with you. “We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty." -Maya Angelou

At a foundational level, I see clients through the lens of trauma-informed attachment theory. Experiences during childhood & adulthood shape the way we see ourselves, the world, & our relationships. I believe in teaching practical strategies & practicing self-regulation skills to achieve more peaceful, joyful, mindful, vibrant living. We can rewire the way we think & shift the way we behave/feel.
