To be a human tasked with enduring life's wonders, joys, and sorrows can be complicated and, at times, all too overwhelming. It can be scary to feel like we're off, stuck, or detached from reality. If you're here because you're hurting or simply because you want to live more authentically, I commend you for mustering up the effort and vulnerability it took to arrive, and I welcome you.
I'm honored to get to do this work, and I specifically feel most helpful when I'm working with clients who are experiencing grief and loss, life transitions, and identity exploration. The impact of these major life changing events often goes unexpressed and unacknowledged, leaving lingering unresolved feelings. It can be a radical act to let ourselves hurt.
By acknowledging and leaning into pain, we can build a greater awareness of who we are, what's truly important to us, how to tend to our despair, and how we want to continue living. If this resonates with you and you're interested, I'd be honored to join and support you on your unique path. You can reach out to me here or via my website!

I often work with clients who may be struggling with grief, life transitions, and identity changes. My role is helping clients create intentional time to slow down and fully feel and process the weight of change. Clients may feel the full spectrum of emotions and often discover insights that lead them toward more authentic living. To live is to change, so this practice will remain valuable onward.

I often use Existential Therapy in my practice to help clients explore life's unavoidable conditions, such as meaning, purpose, freedom, death, isolation, and responsibility. I find Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy and Internal Family Systems pair well with this approach to add more practical tools for emotional regulation, coping, and care practices.
