Great to meet you!

I have been in practice for fifteen years, four of which as an independent practitioner. I specialize in helping adolescents and adults overcome acute challenges. I utilize a holistic approach, incorporating proper nutrition and movement coaching.

My approach to therapy

I incorporate a blend of practices, including mindfulness, nervous system regulation, and CBT to overcome challenges and maintain emotional resilience. We will take a close look at your overall health--including your physical health, nutrition, and movement patterns to understand your "holistic" self. We will be looking at how your health set, heart set, mindset, and soul set work synergistically.

What you can expect from me

Root and Rise Counseling is here to help expand you to be your best self as we work together to create meaningful and manageable goals. I am here to listen, engage, and encourage you to apply skills learned in therapy in your everyday life. My clients are the "drivers" in the therapy process and I am along for the ride as your trusted passenger and guide.
