I work with teens and adult individuals who are processing trauma, exploring their personal identity, and building self-esteem. I love helping clients who are collaborative, who seek a curious conversation in which to explore relationships—with themselves, with others, and with ideas. My primary role in the therapeutic relationship is that of co-author rather than teacher, and I enjoy working with folks who are interested in finding their own approaches to problems with support from their communities, which may not look "cookie cutter." Book your first appointment with me here: www.sageleafwellness.com/client-portal

If you're a parent of a teen, you know how it can be hard for them to open up about their fears, anxiety, & just everyday life. I can help provide that support and safe place for them to be themselves. For yourself, maybe you've been noticing unhealthy patterns in your life with relationships, negative self talk, or feeling burnt out of everything and everyone. I will help you process any past and present wounds. Together, we can work on complex issues such as stress, trauma, divorce, substance use, toxic relationships, self worth, and life purpose.

Relationships have the potential to be great sources of meaning and connection, and yet, sometimes they can be confusing and stressful. I work to support couples and individuals who are caught in cycles of high conflict in their relationships. Together we can name, process, and explore things that may keep you feeling stuck, like systemic barriers, abuse, traumatic experiences, relationship patterns, and self-limiting beliefs. I strive to provide a respectful space for curiosity and expression to help clients strengthen bonds and gain clarity around their relationship norms and expectations.

Hi! I am open-minded, curious, empathetic, and non-judgmental. I believe in community and reaching out to others for support. Having raised three young adults, I am drawn to conversations about life transition, identity and career exploration, relationships, trauma, anxiety, depression, and mental health issues affecting young adults and adults of all ages. I seek to listen to and support adults in their process of healing and self-exploration. As a cis-gendered, white woman who has lived in many different communities around the US, I continue to strive to learn about others’ culture and experiences with humility and curiosity.

Welcome - I am so glad you're here. Sometimes the reason for seeking therapy is clear: there has been a life transition, loss, or recent trauma. Perhaps you've been feeling stuck for a while, unable to escape from ingrained patterns of perfectionism, people-pleasing, or substance use. Like many in this changing world, you may feel overwhelmed by the realities of climate change, economic stress, or global unrest. Wherever you are, there is hope for lasting, meaningful change. My goal is to provide warm, nonjudgmental support as we “get under the hood” and address the issues that are holding you back. Let's dive deep together.
