You've been struggling for some time now and can't pinpoint what exactly is wrong. In general, you are just not feeling like yourself. You find that it is harder and harder to stay motivated and engaged with the life you are living. Even though "everything looks good from the outside," you are left unfulfilled and wanting more. The truth is you deserve to live a life that you are passionate about and to feel genuinely connected and engaged in your life and in your relationships.

I support women, emerging adults, and LGBTQA+ individuals in cultivating the courage to reconnect with their disowned parts and experiences in order to bring the unconscious conscious and create sustainable change in their lives and relationships. I use an integrative approach that includes Gestalt, Parts work, Mindfulness, Nature-based Therapy, and EMDR to best meet clients where they are and help guide them to where they can make more life-affirming decisions and create a sense of joy. I specialize in complex trauma and anxiety and I am passionate about working with relationship issues, grief, neurodiversity-affirming care, women's issues, and life transitions. I am looking forward to meeting you along your way.
