Recent and past life experiences might feel challenging, uncomfortable, painful, and scary. You are not alone. I'm dedicated to holding space for you to explore the challenging experiences and scary obstacles that have occurred recently and throughout your life. I'm passionate in supporting individuals navigate the perinatal experience and perinatal mental health, preconception through postpartum, anxiety, and developmental trauma.

I am a master's level clinician who offers professional treatment of the family system. Within my private practice, sessions focus on individuals, adolescents, families, parenting, behavioral issues, addiction, & any issues causing strained relationships which negatively affect the home environment. I use a unique mixture of humor, directness, relatability, & acceptance to provide a safe environment with my clients. In a non-judgmental space, one’s inherent strength & mindfulness can submerge. Using a strengths-based approach, I help clients find tangible ways to obtain their individual versions of positive change.

Are you confused about where your life is going, burnt out, or anxious? My clients seek counseling to feel better, discover themselves, and improve their lives. Reaching out is the first step and often the most difficult. My approach will make you feel accepted and understood by focusing on your strengths, instilling hope, and bringing balance into your life.

Are you feeling overwhelmed with your current circumstances or struggling to find your purpose? Are you having a difficult time healing from past experiences? Many of us face challenges that can lead to anxiety, overwhelm, and a sense of doubt about ourselves and our future. These challenges not only impact how you feel, but your relationship with those around you. You do not have to face these experiences alone. In our sessions, we will concentrate on building your skills and resilience so you can tackle life's obstacles with confidence. We will work together to help you experience relief and find self-assurance in your life.

It's time to shift things from struggle to a success story. My direct and humorous style will help you gain insight into your own mind, so you can kick that anxiety and depression out of the drivers seat and be the awesome YOU that, deep down, you know you really are.

Sex Addiction is a black hole.

Your dissatisfaction is a sign of your inner wisdom seeking to emerge. You have it within you to find your way to a fulfilling life. You can learn how to listen deeply to, and follow, that wisdom. There are many ways that can lead us to a healthy life. My joy is to help you, through a variety of techniques and approaches, find your own path home.

Accepting New Clients! There are times in our lives where we recognize we need things to change or just need some support. I am here to help you, your family, and your children with a challenge that might feel too big to manage on your own. I specialize in working with children and adults who are seeking services for depression, anxiety, trauma and high stress experiences, behavioral issues, adjustment difficulties, and family relationship concerns. I also have experience and training working with nuerodivergent clients (ADHD, Autistic, Developmental Disorders, TBI, and birth trauma) and welcome the opportunity to work with you.

Hello! Did you just have a baby, or have a toddler or preschooler at home and feel totally overwhelmed and/or anxious? Is being a parent a lot harder than you expected? I agree, it is the hardest thing I've ever done! I love supporting parents. I have experience and a huge passion for working with postpartum parents as well as those with young children (biological, foster, and adoptive). I work with trauma, anxiety, depression, and a variety of parenting challenges. I have training and experience in maternal mental health, somatic therapy, attachment, trauma, mind-body connections, nature, play, and cognitive/behavior therapies.

If you have tried counseling before and haven't seen change, this is the place for you. I am so excited to work with clients who are ready to ask the tough questions about themselves or about their parenting. I bring warmth and compassion coming from client-centered approach, but you can also expect to gain tools to help you feel more confident and experience change in your life.

Life can be challenging. You might be struggling with your relationships, managing daily stressors or something just feels fundamentally off. Perhaps old patterns have finally reached a breaking point. It can arise in the form of depression, anxiety, trauma, destructive habits, an existential crisis, spiritual issues or just feeling stuck when you know more is possible. You might be able to make it through the day, but there are times when these experiences can destabilize one’s life. Whether you are addressing these sorts of struggles before it has become a crisis or in desperate need of support, I'm here to help.

I hold radical space for your nervous system to unwind & your souls growth to emerge. I practice an inclusive, human forward approach to therapy that encourages us all to work towards a more spiritually aligned, socially just, fully expressed life & world. My work as a psychotherapist is deeply rooted in each body as a container of infinite intelligence, in a body that is free of limitation, & a body that is liberated and expressive of its truth. My gift is to pin-point wounds & patterns holding you back so I can support you in whatever you’re needing most. From there I help you connect to your deepest sense of self.

We are living in strange times, and I know you've been through a lot lately. Whether you're feeling lonely, despairing, struggling to find your purpose, or realizing that you've been coping with the help of substances, there is hope. We can work together to make this time an opportunity for growth and meaningful change. I am dedicated to supporting my clients through emotional distress, and helping them discover internal strengths and resources to live the truest versions of themselves. Please note: I see clients online only.

Relationships are what make life richer, kinder, and more fun. When those aren't working well, life can be really tough, either because we don't have the relationships we want, or those we have aren't working... Loneliness, people-pleasing, social anxiety, or fear of rejection... arguments, lack of connection, or constant conflict... all these can make relationships really, really hard. It all comes down to our relationship with... ourselves. When we know, love, and care for ourselves, our relationships start to change, from the inside out.

Accepting new clients August '24. I help individuals find clarity, self-trust, flexibility, and inner resources to increase an overall sense of wellness. Many of my clients experience symptoms of ADHD, anxiety, trauma, or substance abuse. Whether you are struggling to transition through difficult life stages or relationships, seeking re-connection to themselves from past traumas or challenged by habitual reactions, I help individuals achieve their desired goals with a strength-based and wholistic lens,

As a counselor and a person, I am heartfelt, playful, and energetic. I love incorporating the mind-body connection into my clinical work, and I love conducting therapy in unique spaces, including my farmhouse office and the acreage surrounding it. While I use play therapy with my child clients, I believe that incorporating playfulness and creativity into working with adolescents and adults can be helpful to communication, wellness, and healing. It is my deepest passion to journey with my clients as they grow, and to celebrate them as they move into ways of being, living, and loving that align with their heart’s deepest values!

Do you want to strengthen your relationships? Deepen your connection with your partner and/or children? I work with couples, families and individuals who seek support on issues such as: improving communication, sexual issues, OCD, attachment, parenting, conflict resolution, anxiety and/or depression, infidelity and creating healthy boundaries. Also thoughtful separation/divorce and co-parenting. LGBTQ+ friendly.

Trauma is an invisible injury to others and often to ourselves. Once visible, healing can happen. If not acknowledged, a trauma injury can leave you vulnerable to a reactionary process called PTSD. Our logical (left) brain cannot reason with the emotional pain, leaving you in a reactive cycle, causing a fight, flight or freeze response. I will assist you in reprocessing the trauma memory held in the creative (right) brain to alleviate the stuck emotional pain and restore your ability to have reasoning power, logical outcomes and return to your natural state of wellbeing. I am certified in EMDR. Call for a free 30 min consultation.

How long have you been struggling with the burden of feeling like you're not enough? Not small enough, not good enough, not strong enough, not simple enough… It can be exhausting and lonely to feel like you’re constantly falling short. Maybe you spend your days obsessing about food and body image, trying to power through your anxiety, or trying to push aside the burden of the past long enough for you to cope with your fears of the future. If any of this speaks to you, I want you to know that you’ve done such an amazing job getting yourself this far - but you don’t have to do it alone anymore.
