It takes courage to even consider asking for help! If you’re hoping to become a better human, if you’re ready to invest in yourself and your relationships, I offer authentic connection and companionship. Change only happens in the context of trusting relationships, I believe, and I strive to be as genuine as possible in the counseling process. I seek clients who are ready to invest in themselves and desire support for the journey. It’s also important to know I have found Internal Family Systems (IFS) to be a particularly effective modality to help individuals move towards healing and health. I am Level 1 trained in IFS.
I offer knowledge, perspective, guidance, and insight, including on the parenting journey. Whether you’re a person who wants to better understand yourself and others, a parent overwhelmed by specific caregiving challenges, or a member of the circle of adoption in need of support for your unique journey, I truly welcome the opportunity to companion with you.
My ideal client is one seeking authentic connection and companionship. Life is hard! I want to help people who have a desire to learn and grow, to move towards healing and health. And… parenting is hard! I seek to help caregivers desiring a stronger, more joyful connection with their child.
