Do you yearn for more harmonious relationships in your life? I will support you to uncover patterns that lead to disconnection, cultivate a deeper understanding of yourself and others, develop more effective communication skills, and explore solutions that can lead to lasting, positive change. Healthy relationships are fundamental to our well-being and yet the pathway is not always simple or clear. With a nonjudgmental, holistic, and growth-oriented approach, I counsel individuals, parents, intimate partners, and families who struggle with interpersonal issues so that they can achieve more ease and harmony in their relationships.

Welcome! I work primarily with women and folks on a parenting journey. You may be a new parent who experienced birth trauma and have the baby you always wanted but don't know how to move forward from pregnancy/ birth experience. You may be experiencing infertility or pregnancy complications. I have a passion for working with women who are navigating significant life transitions. If you're looking for a therapist to just say "mmm," I may not be the fit for you. Our work together will focus on engaging in self-discovery, enhancing insight to bodily cues, and building skills to help you move forward and reconnect with yourself again.

We are born into lives that are not our choosing. Our parents, circumstances, and impactful events can define us and become the narrative of our lives. You may have reached a place where you would like to examine this, to decide who and how you want to be in the world, to align your values, interests and passions with how you live each day. Coping skills learned at a young age may no longer be serving you, and it may be time to learn new skills to support your growth and wellbeing. Together we can explore how you got here, and develop a pathway to connect with your true self.

I offer a welcoming space to explore how disorienting transitions, loss, intense challenges and illnesses can hold within them the possibility for profound personal transformation, renewed vitality, and deeper connections. It was my own journey with chronic illness that began in my twenties that evolved into a calling to support others in their healing. Since 2008, I have worked as a licensed naturopathic physician, health coach, author, educator, and now mental health counselor. My personal and professional experiences have engendered an embodied compassion and humility for the ways in which life can bring us to our knees.

Accepting New Clients: The most potent skill I want to offer to you is the ability to both witness and also experience fully whatever is arising within you with kindness and curiosity. Holding this paradox gently appears to be the way to move through difficulty with softness and be open to the wisdom of the challenge. I help adults as going through natural life transitions and finding themselves struggling to make meaning of their difficulties. Changes in our relationships, health and roles in family are some of the things that can be very challenging to accept and contend with, and I aspire to be a trusted guide in your journey.

Every parent dreams of raising their children in ways that enable them to not only survive, but to thrive. As life unfolds, parents may encounter personal difficulties, or problems related to their children, that compromise their ability to provide consistent, responsive care. They may then be susceptible to feelings of overwhelm, discouragement, and/or guilt. I accompany families, individual adults, and couples with kindness, warmth, and compassion. With a gentle but steady eye on strengths and resources, I respectfully join with them in the belief that "We are in this together, and together, we will find our way through."
