Are you and and/or you and your partner struggling through a big life transition? Have you experienced a death, a loss of a loved one, pregnancy, or pet, or are facing a scary health diagnosis? These events can cause a great deal of stress and grief. Having a safe space to talk and feel supported can make a big difference. Times of loss and transition can also present unique opportunities for growth and new ways of living your life. Sometimes, in fact, it can be the catalyst for a deeper and more meaningful life. You might not see that potential now, but you can get there.
As a cancer survivor and survivor of pregnancy loss, I can understand the challenges that can arise when faced with something unexpected. I also specialize in working with adults regarding sexuality and relationship challenges, couples counseling, pet loss and connection to animals, Ketamine-assisted therapy, and support for other providers.
Above all I’m here to listen and help you feel supported wherever you are in your process. I work collaboratively with clients to develop ideas for therapy and honor your voice and needs. I integrate animals and nature into my practice when it makes sense to do so. I invite you to reach out via email or phone and let’s talk.

I work most from a relational perspective with individuals and couples. This means that our working relationship is an important factor and that we will also look at the patterns and beliefs you bring to your relationship with others and yourself. I also incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and work from a strengths-based perspective which means I help you recognize your strengths and gifts.
