If you often feel deeply affected by the emotions of others, overwhelmed by life’s demands, or as though you’re carrying more than you can manage, these experiences can feel isolating, but with compassionate support, you don’t have to navigate what’s happening in your life alone. I work alongside individuals navigating cycles of anxiety, chronic pain, trauma, and traits associated with being a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP). Many highly sensitive individuals experience heightened empathy, deep emotional processing, and an increased awareness of their environment, which can lead to both unique strengths and challenges.

I work with adults and couples to explore all parts of ourselves with curiosity and gentleness.
Does it feel like there is a heaviness that has been following you? Maybe you are successful in your career and appear as though you're thriving, even when you feel unsettled. Perhaps it feels like you wear a mask every day, giving in when you want to say “no.” You feel deeply, fear rejection, and failure is never an option. Maybe you’ve even been labeled “too sensitive,” often finding yourself people‑pleasing. Or perhaps you're going through a breakup or relationship challenges. I work with these issues, including anxiety, depression, couples counseling, grief, career stress/burnout, identity, and trauma.

My clients are thoughtful individuals and couples who care deeply about their relationships but feel stuck in patterns they don’t fully understand. They may be navigating recurring conflict, disconnection, anxiety, or transitions like parenting or divorce. Often, they notice themselves reacting in ways that don’t align with who they want to be. I help clients slow down and make sense of these patterns through an attachment-based lens, exploring how past and present relationships shape their responses. From there, we build new ways of relating that feel more secure, connected, and aligned.

I help adult children of emotionally immature parents heal codependency, set healthy boundaries, and reconnect with their authentic selves.
Do you identify as having an awakened consciousness, an empath, spiritual, a WooWoo or on the Red Road? Are you feeling isolated and disconnected because your vibration has increased and created more challenges in relationships? While on this life's journey, have you realized that you experienced trauma in childhood and don't know how to take the next step to heal these wounds? These experiences could be causing anxiety and depression, deflating your self worth and disrupting your focus and sleep.

Accepting new clients. I have over 25 years of experience in providing therapy for individuals and couples, career counseling, and executive coaching.

Most of my work is with adults, but as a former teacher I also love supporting kids and teens.
Do you often feel like a side character in everyone else’s story instead of the main character in your own? Maybe you’re an educator, healthcare professional, or caregiver who spends so much time giving to others that you barely have anything left for yourself. Maybe you’ve entered a new decade and are starting to question who you are and where you fit now. Or maybe your mind feels like a browser with 47 tabs open and you can’t find the one playing music while everyone else seems to have it together. Regardless, you thought you’d feel better by now, and you’re ready for change. I see you! You don’t have to figure it out alone.

Grief is ever-present within our lives. Whether it’s an abrupt shift in our daily routine, a noticeable difference within ourselves, or a transition of our career, we experience it. We feel it after a change in our relationship, the loss of a pet, or, a heartbreaking death of a loved one. All change results in loss of some sort, and that which accompanies it, is grief. Grief can leave us feeling stuck, overwhelmed, and scared. We feel exposed and vulnerable. We begin to question ourselves and the world we are in. Whatever your grief, know that I will honor it with attuned presence.
