You matter. Your goals, needs, passions and struggles are important – and it’s my deep privilege to walk with you, whatever your path holds. With compassionate presence – and mindful of your strengths and history – we’ll work together to nourish insights, strategies, and resources that will best support you in overcoming difficulty and meeting life whole-heartedly. I bring a holistic, person-centered, attachment- and mindfulness-based approach to working with children, teens, and adults experiencing a wide range of life challenges.
I provide support around issues of trauma, grief, identity, anxiety, and depression, as well as ADD/ADHD, sensory stimulation, and autism spectrum disorders. I also enjoy working with families struggling with parenting challenges, helping individuals foster healthy, supportive relationships, and supporting increased insight, goal-setting, and personal growth
You deserve support - to be fully seen, heard, and cared about. And you possess the strength, wisdom, and resilience to build a life you love. I'd be honored to know you - to listen and learn and help you to tap the insight and gifts within.
