Great to meet you!

I have been a therapist for 2 decades now and have been in awe of our capacity for healing and transformation. I'm a licensed marriage and family therapist and I utilize a wide array of tools and resources to facilitate the process of growth such as expressive therapy, EMDR, nature immersion, somatic modalities, IFS, voice dialogue, self-compassion practices, somatic healing, and other creative avenues for healing and emotional release. I specialize in working with trauma, depression, anxiety, bipolar, PTSD, grief, addiction & other life challenges. I also facilitate group therapy and retreats at Harmony Woods Retreat Center. I specialize in mood disorders, trauma, self-actualization, addiction, and grief.

My approach to therapy

I believe the power for healing, growth, & transformation resides in everyone. And I am honored to walk with people through their journey in discovering their healer within. Therapy becomes a sacred container for transformation to happen in safety & with support. I deeply believe that people are not an illness & wellness is in our nature & always possible.

What you can expect from me

Investing in your healing journey helps reduce distressing symptoms, dismantle unhelpful belief systems, and promotes greater peace, self-compassion, joy, and fullness of life.
