Trauma and grief often leave us feeling uprooted and disconnected. You may be working harder than ever, yet you remain physically tense and perpetually exhausted. This chronic burnout can indicate that you are trapped in a survival loop, where normal rest fails to provide actual relief. My practice integrates Nature-Informed Therapy to help you break that cycle. By grounding our work with the natural world, we can facilitate deeper somatic healing and mental clarity. Together, we will move past burnout and regain emotional control, helping you reconnect with your true, authentic self!
I specialize in working with caregivers, young adults, and teens struggling with trauma, grief, and anxiety. Clients come to me looking for a therapist who understands and gently challenges them, because therapy should be a place where you feel heard and grow. Sessions with me focus on the body and the mind, and on connecting with nature!
I understand that starting therapy or trying therapy again can be a daunting task. It can be hard to find a therapist, especially the right therapist for you. My calming, authentic presence creates an environment where people feel heard and can be themselves. Call me today for a free 15-minute consult call. I can’t wait to hear from you!

I help people who have experienced traumatic events, depression, grief, and the difficulties that follow such as low motivation, tension, and irritability. Each of these issues, and the body's response to it, looks different for each person. My goal is to process these emotions and find ways for the body to release them. As we work through our emotions we often find ourselves feeling at ease.
