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....
If you're looking for a space to work through the complexities of life with a non-judgmental ear and gentle patience, I'd be happy to help.

My goal is to offer you support, help you maintain personal balance, and move towards a life that reflects your own unique potential. I will meet you where you are by using a strengths-based perspective to build on what already works well for you. Together we will honor what has gotten you this far, and discover what is holding you back. My approach to healing is based in the experience of the present moment. Much of our human experience is lost when we focus our attention on the past (regrets,...

My approach is warm, perceptive, and clarifying. I primarily use the IFS model, which posits that we each contain an ecology of different parts that each have a valuable role to play within us. When these parts develop roles that are in conflict with one another, or with our external world, we can experience distress, confusion, disconnection, and shame. I work with clients to explore these areas with curiosity, compassion, and courage in service to promoting greater ease and sense of meaning in...
In my practice I aim to support clients feel supported, empowered and gain new insights. If you're struggling with anxiety, depression, grief/loss or past trauma, we can work together to make sense of its impact on your day-to-day life. Going to school for the first time or returning to school is a huge life transition. During this time we often need some extra support to make sense of it all....

Our work together may involve finding a kinder way of relating to yourself and more effective ways of connecting with others and getting their support. If it requires developing new skills, I offer help through mindfulness, breathin...
At one point or another we can all benefit from what therapy has to offer. I commit to creating a compassionate space for you to break from your daily routine and shed the layers no longer serving you. I believe counseling to be a collaborative journey towards growth, adaptation, and healing. My therapeutic style is infused with creativity, humor, and most importantly empathy. I draw from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Positive, Psy...

My clients would describe me as warm, genuine, non-judgmental, open, and motivating. My style draws upon an expe...
