Sessions are available either in-person or telehealth or a combination of both.
The attempt to ignore or suppress emotions, the pressure to "get over it", is where feelings of anxiety, depression, anger and loneliness thrive. I believe in the intelligence of our internal emotional system, viewing symptoms not as a problem to be solved but a roadmap to follow towards feeling and functioning better. The process of therapy will connect you with the internal resources needed to navigate life from a calmer and more connected space.

I love to meet in person when possible.
Do you feel weighed down by anxiety, past hurts, or stress that makes it hard to move forward? Maybe you’ve been coping the best you can—juggling relationships, parenting, or life transitions—but inside, it still feels like too much, or simply not quite right.
My first priority is creating a safe, connected space where you don’t have to carry it all alone. We’ll work at a pace that feels right for you, noticing what’s helping while gently exploring what’s getting in the way. Together, we’ll build awareness, strengthen your inner resources, and move toward a way of living that feels more grounded, easeful, and authentic.

Journeying alongside clients during life struggles takes relationship building and rebuilding: relationship with self and others. My goal is helping clients work through strongholds to create a healthier person to have a healthier life and healthier relationships. Getting rid of old habits and wrong beliefs to usher in habits and truths that benefit a well lived life, is a complete life changing make-over that takes time, effort, sweat, and tears. Together, my clients and I work toward conquering mountains by uncovering these strongholds, allowing healing and empowerment to be achieved to live a life with authority.

I have spent most of my life studying movement. After teaching dance, the Alexander Technique, and breathing coordination for many years, I became astutely aware of the profound relationships between emotions and our biology. My clinical social work practice is deeply rooted in exploring the nervous system and acknowledging patterns within the external systems in which one lives. If you feel stuck in your body or way of thinking, please contact me. If you experience excessive muscular tension, dissociation, or medical diagnoses such as ADHD or autoimmune disease, I believe change and healing are possible.
