When is the last time you really connected with nature? When is the last time you were able to slow down and just be? Often our bodies and minds hold the wisdom we are needing in the present moment. I find that moving and being in natural spaces inherently helps us tune into ourselves as individuals and ourselves as part of a web of life (and was gratified in school to show that research also supports this). My office setting is a garden with some woods for rambling when more movement is needed....

I love working with teens and young adults who are overwhelmed by life’s stressors. You feel as though you are spiraling out of control and you are exhausted.

You want to be more meaningfully engaged in your relationships, your work, or school, but you find it difficult to do so. I will work with you to explore your struggles...

I bring my passion for somatic psychology, t...

In my private practice I provide individual psychotherapy to adults, including college students, to help them work through difficult experiences, make positiv...
I help bright, dynamic students deal with the anxiety and overwhelm that can creep up as you're out there doing what you always thought you were supposed to be doing. You work really hard but it's getting harder to hold it all together as you wrestle with the doubts and the stress. Your relationships might be feeling less than happy and fulfilling lately, or you're just plain overwhelmed. On the outside, you look like you have it all together - but that doesn't make you feel OK on the inside. I...
