Many people I work with feel overwhelmed, stuck, or quietly hard on themselves. In a world filled with constant stimulation, pressure, and alarming news, it can be difficult to find clarity, ease, or a sense of direction. I offer a warm, grounded, and steady space where you can slow down, listen more deeply, and begin moving forward in a way that feels more aligned. Our work is not about fixing you, but about understanding what is asking for your attention, care, and honesty.
Before working in mental health, I spent many years in leadership roles in wilderness education and outdoor programs. Those experiences taught me that people are capable of meaningful growth during difficult seasons, and that support, reflection, and humor can make overwhelming moments feel more manageable.
I work with adults and teens navigating anxiety, social media use, depression, fear, grief, shame, self-doubt, perfectionism, ADHD, and major life transitions. I also support athletes who are navigating pressure, burnout, or identity shifts in their careers. If this resonates, I invite you to reach out, and we can set up a complimentary 30-min consultation.
