TeleHealth for Individual adults & couples.
Trying to make something work by pretending to feel, think or act in ways that go against how you really feel is exhausting to the body, mind and your spirit. This realization can feel very uncomfortable. However, it is the door to finding both your aliveness and yourself as you investigate what you really feel and think about the situations that are distressing in yourself, family and work situations. I'd like to help you make the actual changes that you need to make. I help you find and focus on what is actually alive in you. All sessions are TeleHealth that creates a safe environment in the convenience of your home or office.

Everyone deserves a life full of confidence, connection, and fulfillment. However, most of us experience times when we feel stuck, overwhelmed, anxious, or depressed. I support teens and adults by creating a safe space to explore who they are, look deeper into what they want out of life, identify patterns, help build resilience, and develop healthy ways of coping with life’s challenges. I also work collaboratively with parents to provide guidance and practical tools to empower families to create a positive, nurturing, and connected family environment.

I help adults and couples with relationship and codependency issues, grief and loss, depression, anxiety and addictive patterns with self and others. I help you to create a relationship with yourself and others based on respect, caring and trust. This helps build the feeling of safety that lies at the core of any successful therapy. My goal is to support you in finding and strengthening your own inner voice. When we learn to free ourselves from old, stuck patterns of relating (in mind and body), we often feel a lightness of being that allows us to experience more joy in our everyday lives.
