Sometimes who we think we are "supposed" to be and who we are in our truth don't always line up causing anxiety, depression, conflict in relationships and career. Recognizing and allowing the true self to emerge is empowering and challenging. I will work collaboratively with you to discover this truth and build skills and refine strategies to support you along the journey - uncovering your strengths, your desires and empowering your True self. We will chat, move, breathe, and write. The body is the anchor -sometimes we forget how wise and rich it is. We will see if we can rediscover this truth. I think we can.

Adolescence and young adulthood are challenging times, full of growth and transition for individuals and families. I love supporting adolescents and emerging adults as they explore their identities and light their paths into adulthood. I am skilled at working with families through these transitional times, and also enjoy supporting couples in achieving healthy communication and partnership. My clinical experience runs the gamut from in-home work with court mandated youth, residential work with adolescent girls, and community-based outpatient therapy with high school students and kids in foster care.

I have over 6 years of experience working with victims/survivors of domestic violence and abuse. Entrusting someone with your most painful experiences and deepest thoughts is the scariest and bravest thing you may ever do. Together we can unravel the familial, cultural, and societal messages that have told you that you are not enough, that you are at fault, or that you deserved what happened to you. It would be an honor work with you.

As we increase our ability to meet life from a state of relaxed, focused awareness, our answers emerge naturally. The brain/mind/body is always working towards health and well-being. Sometimes there are blocks in the way. These blocks create anxiety and depression in various forms. I believe the purpose of therapy is to help remove barriers to allow your own natural healing to proceed. A safe, accepting, and collaborative therapeutic relationship fosters increased emotional balance and well-being, including at the level of your neurochemistry. I use various approaches and work with clients as co-detectives to explore your answers.

Do you daydream of being able to press pause on life to rest, catch up on sleep, not think? These days, almost every day feels next-level hard. You know your job or chronic health conditions are affecting your mental health and let’s face it, a lot of other parts of your life (your relationships, hobbies, sleep). You have been in cycles of hoping things will change, but after finding yourself stuck in the same cycles of overdoing and trying to figure things out on your own, you’re realizing you’re done and over it (cue rage quitting fantasy).

Pursuing a life of meaning and purpose, a marriage that is solid and fulfilling, a family that is healthy and vibrant. Cultivating all of these, and anything that is valuable, is challenging.

With a solid Christian worldview, sharp therapeutic skills, and a lot of life experience, I'm here to help.

I know how heavy it can feel to hold everything together. You want to feel more connected—to yourself and to your people —but old patterns and deep stress keep pulling you off center. In our work, we’ll slow down and gently uncover the beliefs and habits that no longer serve you. As we shine light on what’s been hidden, you’ll reconnect with your body, your truth, and your inner strength. I bring decades of embodied experience as a mother, dancer, massage therapist, and doula. These roles have shaped my ability to hold space with depth, compassion and warmth.

The best way to determine if I can help you, your child, or your young adult is to pick up the phone and share your story. This can be intimidating, which is why I offer a free initial consultation to see if I am the right person to help.
