Great to meet you!

In life, I know what it's like to stumble, trip and fall. Brene Brown tells us that "winners are losers who keep getting up" and when things feel scary, we recall Mr. Rogers encouragement to "look for the helpers". Life can feel heavy, the future can feel uncertain and Glennon Doyle reminds us that "we can do hard things". The good news is that we don't have to do it alone. I offer my support and a contemplative practice with over a decade of experiential study and formal training. I take comfort in the perennial nature of mother earth and my greatest teachers are my three wild and beautiful children.

My approach to therapy

My approach is warm, emergent and relational- led by each individuals unique capacity for the kind of healing, growth and resilience that leads to a life of emotional security, satisfaction and connection. I am a mindfulness meditation practitioner, teacher and mentor, offering support with unprocessed trauma, life transitions, anxiety and depression.

What you can expect from me

Where ever you find yourself on your journey, whether you are getting up from a hard fall or are uncertain of your next step, I invite you to pause and join me for a deep breath and a cup of tea. Let's reflect and identify the areas of your life that need growth and healing, listening deeply with open and compassionate curiosity.
