Therapy is a journey of self-discovery, healing, and growth, where every part of you is welcome. Within each of us lies the capacity to heal, even when it feels out of reach. My approach is centered on helping you connect with the different parts of yourself. Together, we will honor and explore these parts, fostering a sense of wholeness and self-compassion as you move toward the life you envision. The therapeutic relationship we build is the cornerstone of our work together—I believe that true healing happens within the context of a trusting, supportive connection.

It takes courage to consider counseling. It is an important step to resolving issues that keep you from being your best. Sometimes we feel overwhelmed, anxious, or depressed by the challenges of everyday life. You don't have to face these struggles alone. Having owned and worked on a farm, I have seen many parallels between healthy gardens and healthy minds. We need to plant seeds and thoughts that are viable for optimum growth. Once planted, we must nurture our inner garden with essential elements.

I use an integrative approach that considers the role of both mind and body, as I believe neither are fully separate and both are equally important to mental health. Talk therapy modalities I may use include CBT, psychoeducation, feminist therapy and holistic coaching depending on your unique needs and preferences. I use a neuroscience-informed approach and aim to help you learn how to change the patterns your brain has been making for years that are keeping you stuck. At the same time, I also recognize the importance of societal and external factors that may be contributing to your mental health and we can explore those together.

Life can present us with some pretty rough terrain to navigate. My goal is to help each of my clients discover, strengthen and utilize all of their internal and external resources so they can face the challenges, as well as notice, savor and increase the good moments. Events of the last few years have pushed many people to their limits. During these particularly challenging times, I offer clients a comfortable and safe setting to increase self-awareness and implement tools to cope with issues such as anxiety, depression, grief and loss, problematic relationships, caregiver stress, and ADHD to name a few.

“Tell me, what is it that you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?” The poet Mary Oliver nails us with this question. Not being afraid of the wild, and finding your way to the precious, requires your most curious, present and compassionate self. When that self eludes you—which it does for all of us now and then—it’s lonely and frightening. Where did your clarity and intuition go? Why can’t you feel yourself anymore?
