As a counselor, it is an honor to come alongside you in your story, and assist you in figuring out the next chapter of where you want it to go based on the values that are most important to you. Together we will work to identify places where you have become stuck, or perhaps where you have become your own worst enemy, and over time I will help you develop a fresh perspective of your identity and new skills for tackling the problems of life. I have a passion for helping individuals and couples sort through relational and emotional conflicts, because relationships are so frequently messy.

Did you know ages 45-55 are just as developmentally rich as adolescence? What if we saw aging as a spiritual path, and our body's symptoms of perimenopause and menopause as guides? A mid-life crisis is often characterized by an anxious sense of "is this all there is?" compounded by stressors related to caregiving, death, divorce, job loss and relationship dissatisfaction. This can create existential questions related to one's identity, purpose and meaning in life. Yet this mid-life chrysalis, is an opportunity to slow down, reflect and become more fully conscious of ourselves as women in the afternoon of our lives.

Welcome! I'm so glad you've made the decision to embark on your journey towards healing, you deserve it! If traditional talk therapy hasn't quite hit the mark for you or your teen, experiential therapy might be a game-changer. I’ve found that activities like hiking, climbing, working with horses, or engaging in art can offer more effective results. I bring a playful, youthful energy to my work—I’m a big kid at heart! I believe in balancing laughter with the seriousness of our sessions. I view therapy as a space where we can embrace the full range of emotions, combining humor and authenticity with deep, empathetic support.

I also bring experience of training and supporting clinicians, most recently as the CEO of a wilderness therapy program.

Something pivotal in your life has recently occurred. You might be grieving a loss, experiencing a shift in a relationship, starting a new job or in the thick of life itself. Maybe you find yourself in thought spirals or analysis paralysis because the thought of making a decision or choice is too daunting. People tell you to “trust your gut,” but you’re not sure what that really means; depending on others has become the norm. It can be so hard to advocate for yourself and your needs and you’re feeling unworthy of having any needs at all. You often feel detached from your body. I know how you feel, I’ve been there.

You want to matter, be understood, feel closer to the people you love: You want to feel like you're enough, have purpose and direction, feel capable of not just keeping yourself together but thriving.

Welcome to my site! I'm a psychotherapist and coach with over 20 years of experience working with a variety of issues including: anxiety and depression, life transitions, grief, trauma, sexuality, financial literacy, high performance, mindset, habits for success, boundaries, and burnout. I'm a wife, mother and business owner who has experienced and recovered from burnout several times in my career. Many of us are juggling a lot of different roles, and it can be difficult to zoom out and make sense of our lives, much less make meaningful changes.

You and your partner are trying to stay connected, but conversations keep turning into arguments — or silence. One of you shuts down, the other grows louder, and both of you end up feeling unseen. Differences in communication, sensory needs, or emotional pace — sometimes shaped by ADHD, autism, or past trauma — can make it hard to feel like you’re on the same team. In therapy, we’ll slow the cycle down so you can understand what’s happening underneath and start to reach for each other in new ways.

I feel passionate about serving those who have experienced trauma, particularly attachment-based trauma. Above all, stable and consistent connection for someone with an attachment-based trauma can make all the difference in the world. I believe there is great power in holding space for someone to feel heard and understood, as many folks do not have that safe space with anyone in their life. I also have experience working with folks with substance use challenges. I find that substances can often be what someone turns to when they don’t have the tools and support they need to manage the challenges they are facing.
