I believe in the value of books and reading; they are powerful aids to mental health, growth and healing. What we read changes not only our thoughts and feelings, but can determine our long-term view of the world as well. Each person has an ongoing personal narrative or story that is shaped by our experiences--but mostly by our view of these experiences. We are our life story, in the sense that it influences our choices, what we value and what we fear in life, etc. The good news is that we can shape and change our life story through awareness, understanding, and compassion.

It can be very scary to reach out finally to get the support you or your child or family may need. You've taken the first step and we can work together on all the rest. I believe that you know you best, so I walk alongside you, focusing on goals and solutions to get you to where you'd like to be. I offer in-office, virtual or eco-therapy walking sessions. If working with your child, we will explore how emotional awareness and regulation, using age-appropriate tools/visuals, can help your family move forward with healthier communication habits and help you to foster stronger, more trusting, relationships.

Do you often please others at the expense of yourself? Perhaps you keep repeating unhealthy relationship patterns - searching for proof of your worthiness in relationships outside of yourself. How loud is your inner critic? Are you hiding guilt and shame behind masks of happiness? Are you indecisive - valuing others' opinions over your own? Do you often feel overwhelmed? You are not alone. Many of my clients feel this way, and I can tell you that there is hope. There is another way to live. You are strong and resilient, even if it doesn't feel like it right now. This life can be amazing. I can help you remember how to heal yourself.

Seeking help can feel overwhelming and scary, but it is often the first step towards healing. In the growth process, it is critical to have a warm and perceptive guide to provide tools, insight, and safety. As unhealthy relationships damage, healthy relationships heal. The therapeutic alliance has over and over again been found to be one of the most influential factors in producing positive change. My aim is to build that alliance and work with you towards wellness.

Are you looking for counseling that honors your spirituality? Do you want to reconnect with your authentic, true self? Do you have this sense there is supposed to be "more"? It is so easy to forget what we come into the world inherently knowing - that we all deserve to be seen, to be heard, and know that we matter. In our work together, we will venture on a journey of remembering who you truly are and unlearning all that you are not. By working with all pieces of you – mind, body, and spirit - we will break down what has built up over time that is no longer serving you and reconnect with the truth underneath.
