About
It’s an honor to walk alongside clients as they journey into the depths of their heart, mind, & spirit. Using a collaborative and strengths-based approach, I work with clients through depression, anxiety, trauma, anger, stress, grief, & life transitions. I’m passionate about supporting clients to create healthier relationships & live more authentic lives. I particularly enjoy working with clients who believe they are “too sensitive” or “too much,” and helping to reframe sensitivity as a gift. I also enjoy working with clients wanting a therapeutic space to integrate healing experiences with altered states of consciousness.
Working with couples, I primarily draw from an evidence-based therapy called Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). In EFT, neither partner is the problem. The problem is a cycle of guarded behavior leaving both partners feeling misunderstood & alone. EFT helps couples identify the deeper fears & emotions, so they can connect with more vulnerability & care.
It's important to me that clients feel appreciated and accepted for who they are. The clients I work with report feeling listened to, cared for, and inspired to consider new perspectives. If you think we may be a good fit, I hope to hear from you soon. I offer both in-person and telehealth sessions.
