I believe in addressing the physical, emotional, mental, spiritual, and creative aspects of the whole individual. My goal is to encourage and help you discover the strengths that you already possess to navigate difficult emotions and experiences. Collaboration is a huge part of each therapy session because you are the true expert of your life!

I offer counseling and music therapy services for individuals and groups who struggle with anxiety, depression, eating disorders, grief, self-esteem, trauma, spiritual issues, and more. I utilize a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, somatic practices, mindfulness, and expressive arts interventions.

Taking the first step to find help can be extremely difficult. I would love to come alongside you as a person of safety and support. Please reach out if you have any questions or would be interested in scheduling a session.
