I’m currently accepting new clients from MD for online sessions, with set slots and flexibility week to week. Because of my own life experience (HI, MTHFR, MCAS, mold poisoning), I work with people with chronic illness. So many of us have been medically gaslit and even shamed for the way our own bodies work, and of course this affects our mental health! I take a holistic, integrative, and functional approach to mental health, recognizing that our well-being is shaped by biological, psychological, environmental, spiritual, and cultural influences. My clients are seekers who want to heal, and they are looking for someone to walk with.

Mental health is not just about our emotions or thoughts. It affects our physical, social, spiritual, and communal well-being. It is all connected, and all important. This is why I use an integrative, holistic approach to therapy that focuses on the whole person, rather than symptoms or a diagnosis. I come with an inclusive, anti-oppressive, feminist perspective. Sessions can include a variety of "tools", including reflection, art and creativity, mindfulness, and other practices that are meaningful to you. Harmony Tree Counseling & Wellness is about nurturing a deeper sense of well-being and connection to live the life you want.

You feel stuck in an exhausting push-and-pull with food, your body, or the pressure to perform. Your mind feels constantly busy—tracking, judging, or negotiating around eating, exercise, or appearance.

You're longing for relief: to feel more at ease in your body, to trust yourself again, and to live with greater balance and freedom. Whether you’re navigating an eating disorder, body image concerns, or the demands of sport, you don’t have to face it alone.
