Relationships are central to humanity; we flourish when we are living in authentic, deep, life-giving relationships and community with self and others.

I currently have openings on Fridays and Saturdays. Do you ever feel like life is not going as planned? Sometimes we think we have it all figured out, but then health problems, grief, menopause, career changes, or just the state of the world led to the realization that there was no way we could have planned for any of this. Life doesn't pause while we figure out what to do next and it can lead to overwhelm and frustration. Maybe you are struggling as a caregiver or parent while still trying to understand and process your own upbringing and childhood; or are a helper experiencing compassion fatigue from a career you love.

As a woman living with a disability, I understand what it’s like to navigate a world not built with me in mind. These experiences shape my work, grounding it in empathy, humor, and a commitment to equity, justice, and accessible care. I also grew up in a high-control religious environment and have done my own deconstruction, which informs my therapeutic approach. I prioritize a warm, collaborative counseling relationship and use flexible, client-centered modalities to support self-awareness, healing, and navigating life’s stressors.
