Do you feel stuck in painful thoughts, emotions, or behaviors, yet sense there’s much more to you than the struggle? A part of you may have internalized the self-limiting belief that something is “wrong” with you, while another part senses your innate wisdom, if only you could access it. A mental health diagnosis describes patterns; it does not reveal the deeper causes of suffering or the possibilities for change. Recognizing that body, mind, and spirit are connected, you seek a space where you feel understood rather than pathologized, and where you can begin to feel hopeful and empowered. You're ready to reclaim your life.
As a holistic, trauma‑informed counselor, I use a “yes, and” approach—validating your lived experiences AND supporting your sense of agency. We build practical coping skills for daily change AND incorporate experiential, somatic, and mindfulness tools that foster self-compassion and deeper transformation. Offering walk-and-talk sessions and virtual sessions.
My style is compassionate, collaborative, and down to earth, with space for humor. Building trust is my top priority so you can feel safe, seen, and heard. In that felt sense of safety, your nervous system can settle and healing can begin. If this resonates, I invite you to reach out and see whether this support feels like a good fit. All are welcome.

Grief and shame are more prevalent and impactful than often acknowledged. Francis Weller and Brené Brown note that these unintegrated emotions often underlie common diagnoses, such as anxiety, depression, and substance use disorders. For those interested, we can gently explore how unprocessed grief or shame may be impacting your life and open space for healing.
