Are you struggling with the sorrow of losing someone or something you love? Do you feel like you can't "get over it" and you would like someone to come along side you with kindness, compassion, empathy and support? We often attribute grief to death, but we can also grieve over lost relationships, physical abilities, employment, life transitions and many other things. Through life and loss experiences, we can lose hope, our sense of purpose and our connection with others. We can also experience transitions within our relationships that can cause us to feel disconnected and alone or hopeful and excited for a bright future together.

Developing resilience, fostering personal authenticity, and optimizing quality of life are lifelong passions of mine. I help clients who seek to create and master their expression too. Whether you are challenged by:​ Anxiety & Depression, Career & Life Transitions, Chronic Illness & Pain, High-Demand Group Recovery, or Low Self-Esteem, through a holistic, intentional, and concerted approach, you can uplevel your life personally, professionally, financially, and spiritually!   ​

Does your heart hurt? Have you lost a loved one to death or divorce and your mourning feels unbearable? Grief and loss also comes from relocating, breaking up with a significant other, fired from a job, a broken friendship, a pet dying, abusive childhood, or substance abuse. Grief can feel heavy and numbing. You may feel anxiety, anger, depression and are isolating. Self-medicating through alcohol and drugs is common, too. Negative emotions are balled up and difficult to untangle alone. Do you want to move through the journey of grief into a place where it feels "more normal"?

Now accepting individuals only. I work with adult individuals and teens ages 13+ seeking support for anxiety, depression, relationship issues, life transitions, and trauma and stress-related problems. My aim is to provide a supportive yet challenging space that enables you to explore feelings, work through obstacles, and develop more effective coping skills along the way. I value a collaborative working relationship using evidence based practices to guide sessions and work to facilitate openness through remaining curious, engaged, and empathic.

Exclusively offering Telehealth sessions at this time. We are wired for love and belonging; however, often we are faced with experiences that leave us feeling lonely, stuck, and afraid to take the needed risks in order to experience connection. I believe one of the bravest things you can do is ask for help along the journey. Therapy is a place where you are able to be still, explore the places in your heart that are left unknown to you, and consider making wanted changes in your life. It can help you heal, develop healthy patterns, find hope, and experience a freedom that allows you to feel more connected to yourself and others.

It’s hard being a human in a world that asks so much of us, that's so often alienating, stressful, and emotionally exhausting.

Additionally, I work with many people as they move through the challenges of being a sensitive human and begin to discover the strength in their sensitivities. I am LGBTQIA+-friendly and neurodivergent-affirming.
