Life is full of change and transition. Sometimes, we choose to change and we feel in control. Other times, change happens without our permission and it feels like someone else is making all the decisions for us. Whether you choose change or not, the process can take a toll on your emotional/physical/spiritual health, your relationships, and your sense of purpose in the world. It takes immense courage to create (or re-create) your life. It requires looking within to determine what’s truly important, rather than just accept what others tell you is right for you. I’m here to help you regain a sense of control, purpose, and peace.
I am a licensed clinical mental health counselor, as well as a trained mediator with 15+ years of experience in facilitating difficult conversations. I work with individuals and couples regarding anxiety, depression, LGBTQ+-specific, and end-of-life issues. I offer EMDR, spiritually-integrated psychotherapy, and end-of-life counseling and doula services.
My approach is multi-faceted, depending on the individual needs of each client. Counseling is a safe place to explore what is meaningful for you; I will not pretend to be the expert on what is right for you.
