Healing is possible, and you don’t have to navigate alone. I specialize in working with children, teens, adults, as well as providing couples and family therapy. My approach is holistic and emotionally focused in nature, and integrates body, mind and spirit. My focus is on understanding how I can best support your healing and growth.
If you find yourself in a place where you are ready for support, whether you are looking to make some important changes, challenge yourself, explore relationship or family dynamics, or perhaps you are experiencing a life transition, I look forward to supporting you.
With training in Family Systems Theory, my view of relationships is through a systemic lens. When working with families with children, I may recommend a combination of art and play therapy, parenting and family therapy.
With couples, I utilize Emotionally Focused Therapy and am also a Certified Prepare Enrich Counselor - a premarital evidence based approach.
I would be honored to be your guide in creating a happier and more rewarding life.
My goal is to help you navigate life’s challenges with compassion, insight, humor and practical tools.
I offer virtual, in-person, as well as art therapy and hiking therapy.
