Meet Our Team

Many of us struggle with difficulties in relationships, complicated grief, and messy life circumstances. My aim is to empower you to navigate these stressful feelings and experiences with courage and resilience.

In my work with clients we move to acknowledge old wounds, foster self-compassion, and develop secure, loving connections. Whether you’re navigating relationship difficulties, seeking to heal from hardship, or simply wishing to deepen self-understanding, our work together can open the door to lasting change. I believe that you can learn to honor your pain the way no one else can.

Outside of therapy you can find me enjoying simple things such as making a good cup of coffee, arranging some wild blooms or hosting friends and family.

I strive to support both children and adults who are navigating life’s typical ups and downs, but also immense challenges. It is my hope to create an opportunity where people can feel accepted, safe, and able to work towards reaching their goals and increase self-awareness.

I offer an empathetic, supportive, solution-focused practice in which my clients are able to feel empowered, listened to, and challenged to grow and create a deeper, more fulfilling life. I work to also be a resource for families and children. I look forward to connecting with you and beginning the first step in a series of steps to live a life that is meaningful.

I find that it is so easy to get stuck in patterns in our relationships that just don’t feel good or are even causing harm & distress; even in our relationship with ourself. Being present to yourself, healing from emotional wounds created yesterday or 25 years ago, and whatever else feels important for you to bring will be held with care.

Outside of therapy, I love soaking up every minute with my two kids and my husband. Our family loves to play and spend time outdoors. A good cup of coffee (…er usually a cold cup of coffee), a mystery novel, and time in my garden are all signs of a full day.

The challenges of life can sometimes be difficult to navigate alone. My desire is to come alongside my clients, helping you to reflect, explore, broaden your understanding of yourself in the context of your story, and find a new path forward. The ways we think and live are integral to our well-being.

I believe that finding hope and strength is critical for healing and change. It is an honor to join you in that journey.
