Being human can be difficult. We can all feel stuck at times, like things need to change, things are out of control and moving too quickly, or we are exhausted from too much change. I am passionate about journeying with adult individuals to discover helpful insights to live with a bit more ease, to stay more present, to walk with you through the process of change, or simply to validate that being human can be difficult. I see clients struggling with burn-out, anxiety, depression, existential dread, trauma, processing emotions, reembodiment, and life transitions.

Living with emotional pain can be overwhelming. For those of us who have been hurt and deeply wounded life can sometimes feel lonely, sad and even out of control. Worrying is often an unwelcome part of the journey and can feel as if we are walking up a steep hill. For some of us substance use will help to forget uncomfortable feelings even if only temporarily. Painful past experiences can impact important relationships that we have with our significant other, children, friends and our jobs. The pain and the struggles are real, and you may find yourself asking how did I get here? and who can I trust for help?
