With life comes challenges; beautiful and heavy or dark. Every person has a story and it is valuable! I believe that while trauma can have a powerful impact, we are incredibly resilient. Every human deserves to experience healing, to live life fully, and thrive. I am holistic and humanistic; mind, body, soul, spirit are connected. I believe in the power of curiosity, energy, grace, connection, and humor. Therapy offers new learning, self-discovery, skill-building, growth, and healing. With practice we learn to work through trauma to be fully present for all the moments in this life. Be curious. I look forward to connecting with you!
Seasoned in working with teens 11-17, young adults 18-30, and adults 30-65. I am very passionate about impact, particularly with grief/loss, communication, relationships, life transitions/change, dementia, chronic illness, and women's health. Anyone struggling to navigate life needs support and an approach tailored to their strengths to grow or heal.
A favorite quote I believe in: "I shall pass this way but once; any good that I can do or any kindness I can show to any human being; let me do it now. Let me not defer nor neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again." ~ Grellet
