Are you searching for a dedicated therapist to start counseling with? Or, are you working towards licensure in a counseling related field and looking for a supervisor? Regardless of your path, I am thrilled that your journey has led you here, to me. No matter which service you are interested in, you will get the best of my humanistic self, skills and talents. I will connect with your heart and spirit and cultivate a relationship with you that will nurture optimal growth and life progression. I deeply know from personal experience, the benefits of doing the personal and professional work with a dedicated and experienced therapist.

Soul Work is really the best name for what I do here at Sacred Ground Institute. I'm passionate about truly connecting with your heart and mind from a wholistic and strength-based approach. I strive to incorporate experiential and mindfulness approaches to wellness and healing and I specialize in offering a spectrum of support to clients with diverse needs.

My experience includes adolescents through adults, dealing with life transitions, anxiety, trauma, and loss. My practice is LGBTQIA+ and gender-affirming, welcoming a culturally, economically, racially, and ethnically diverse clientele. I would be honored to walk along this journey of self exploration, growth and healing with you.
