If you're struggling to navigate relationships, I'd love to explore how I can help. I enjoy working with new and expecting parents, and parents of young kids navigating work and family. Also, parents and families who recognize unhealthy patterns being passed down and want to consciously break the cycle. I enjoy teens, tweens, and young adults dealing with anxiety, depression, family conflict, or figuring out who they are. I also see couples working through disconnection or communication breakdowns. And motivated, self-aware individuals who are ready to do the work.
I tailor my approach to meet your unique needs and am committed to helping you grow your emotional intelligence. As a Diplomate of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine, I bring a holistic lens to mental wellness — looking at how the way we live shapes how we feel and function. I also have over a decade of experience in prevention and health education.
I'd be delighted to talk with you today about if and how I can help you get to where you're seeking to go. Let's talk about what you're striving for and how to embrace strong relationships and a new understanding about yourself to improve your mental wellness.
