Great to meet you!

I have extensive experience in helping people recover from family dysfunction, and I offer support in navigating current, difficult relationships. I combine 20 years of professional experience, and a nutrition certification, to provide a holistic approach with opportunity for lasting change. I enjoy working with clients new to therapy, and those who have had therapy but are seeking a deeper, more direct experience. Whether you are just beginning, or want to resume the journey, I am here to help.

A bit about my approach to therapy

We will begin by working together to find the origin or underlying cause of your distress. I will be investigative and will ask you questions that have likely never been asked. The purpose of this is to go deep into your story, to look at the emotional weight you carry and to identify what you can put down. The goal of this approach is to allow you move more easily through life, without feeling like you are carrying the burden of past issues and adverse events.

What you can expect from our first session

My clients often report feeling significantly better after the first session due to finally being heard. We will work in collaboration to take control of your own life-story, helping you make sense of how you arrived where are are, why you might feel stuck, and how to best move ahead. The hardest part of any journey is often the first step, and I will walk with you and provide the support you need to find real change.
