My Approach to Helping
Feeling stuck? Overwhelmed? Want to make changes but not sure where to start? I work holistically and women feel good about themselves and create healthy relationships.

In our work together, we may address thoughts, emotions, somatic (or body) experience, or spiritual experience. I'll support you in building new resources - both internal and external - that help create lasting change. The end result: you'll be able to move through life with more creativity, freedom, and ease.

My style is warm, collaborative, and engaged. The tools I use depend upon who I am working with, but the therapy is often focused in mindful, present-moment experience.

I have a special interest in working with trauma survivors and people who are sensitive or easily overwhelmed. I also work with addiction and recovery, depression, anxiety, chronic health issues, relationship issues, and more.
