I specialize in helping Christians and people of all faiths remove obstructions to their experience of the true substance of their relationship to their Creative Source. I conduct individual, couples, and family work via TeleHealth; and am currently only accepting private pay clients. This allows me to keep a small client base of no more than 12 people, so I am free to offer follow-up treatment and consistent communication for optimal results, which I strive to achieve within 6 sessions of treatment. Please see my ZenCare profile for more information and an introductory video on the nature of my work.

I concentrate on three main areas: grief, pre-marital/couples, and life transitions. Are you finding it hard to cope with your grief, trying to navigate through this new chapter of your life? The ache for your loved one is profound, leaving you uncertain about how to move forward. In your quest for comfort and understanding, you might be turning to the internet for guidance. Instead of endlessly scrolling, let’s take a moment to process these feelings together, step by step, as we seek healing, hope, and wholeness. I lost my mom as a teenager and my dad in adulthood—two distinct experiences, each with its own unique relationship.

Our quality of life is determined by the quality of our relationships. Whatever your goals may be, change is an inside job, and I'm here to be both a witness and a resource in that complex process. When we can let go of shame and judgments around emotions, we allow space to cultivate more curiosity, compassion, acceptance, resiliency, and joy. When we utilize mistakes as informational gifts we can strengthen and clarify the authentic self. I would like to help you meet this self.

On paper, everything looks good. You have a good job, you’re in a relationship and you live somewhere great. You did all the things you were told would make you happy and for some reason, you are feeling off, disconnected or empty. You may be asking yourself, “what’s the point” or “is this all there is?” You are wanting more, but aren’t entirely sure what that is. You may be drinking, relying on substances or food to deal with these feelings. You’re wanting to make a change and it’s the time do it. This has probably been the case for some time. Well, nothing changes if nothing changes.

I work with kids, teenagers and adults to help them heal from past trauma and develop more meaningful and peaceful lives. I love working with people experiencing major life transitions and finding new ways to approach those transitions with calm and ease. I also love working with new parents as they transition into their role caring for children, as this can often be a life change that brings up challenges experienced in their own childhood. My clients express gratitude that I am warm and approachable in the treatment I provide and help them feel safe, sometimes for the first time in their life.

I practice somatic therapy — supporting people in relation to their physical experience. Too often, we lose contact with our bodies through trauma or social conditioning. By working to develop somatic awareness, we can refine our emotional intelligence and thus our sense of self-agency: If you know what you feel at a gut level, you can be clearer in your discernment, and empowered to ask for and claim what you need in your life.
