I work with adults across the lifespan needing support for anxiety, grief, relationships, and major life changes. Whether we meet virtually, face-to-face, or outdoors in nature, my clients leave sessions feeling reconnected to their self-worth and ability to change unwanted patterns. I have a special interest in helping clients heal from loss; establish healthy boundaries; practice courageous communication; and enjoy meaningful connection with others.
My approach is a blend of coaching and therapy. I like to give my clients practical tools they can use the rest of their lives (solution-focused) while also offering safe space for depth of insight (existential). I integrate mindfulness and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). My work is strengths-based, trauma-informed, and nature-informed.
My bi-cultural upbringing in urban, rural, and various socio-economic settings has provided me with a unique life experience that has been valuable to my clients. If something you've read about me resonates with you, or if you're not sure, I encourage and welcome you to contact me for a free 15-minute consultation (your choice of phone or zoom).
