I accept most forms of insurance. Are you feeling sad, anxious, overwhelmed, or have you simply found yourself wanting more from your life? People seek therapy for a variety of reasons, and this seeking is often the first brave step toward living into a sense of greater possibility and deeper relationships!

There are positive aspects to everyone's life, but we often fail to notice them. Let me help you with this. Make an appointment today and we'll work on obtaining the goals you want!

All clients are ideal clients. We are not individuals who are broken that need to be fixed, we are humans having a human experience and we are constantly in a state of change and transitions that have sometimes served us and sometimes not.

I work from a developmental trauma, attachment theory and shame basis of therapy including meeting and nurturing your inner child. It is easiest to reach me by email or visit my website linked on this page.

You've heard your intuition whispering to you, but have been afraid to listen and trust what its communicating. You want to connect with your truest, most authentic Self and live the life you want.

My clients often come to me facing challenges navigating life and trying to manage things like anxiety, stress, substance use issues, and relationships.
