I have a strong intuitive ability that facilitates good communication and connection with many clients. I believe in mind-body-spirit (energy) wellness. For me, this means our physical, mental, and energetic or (non-physical) health are connected and imbalance in one area can impact the entire being. There are many paths to wellness and healing. I am honored to connect and facilitate goal attainment (personal, professional, relational, emotional, health related and more!) with each client. I am grateful for every opportunity to learn more about your experiences as I feel we are capable of unlimited potential growth, resilience and compassion. Walking with clients on their path for a short while, I have the opportunity to witness clients recognize their inner strengths, gifts, beauty, wisdom and compassion. I work with individuals and couples. Workshops related to personal growth, coping, communication, and creativity are offered online.

A favorite quote by Rumi: "Always remember you are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, smarter than you think and twice as beautiful as you'd ever imagined. Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself"

Welcome! Taking a step towards healing and growth is a big one. I celebrate that. My approach to therapy is individualized to your needs, wants and intuition. You likely come with challenges and you also come with strengths. I want to help you identify and celebrate those so you can use them to create tools to increase the quality of your life. I advocate for radical self care. I can teach you how to integrate self care into your daily life so that it is not something you do to escape stress, rather to create a lifestyle of nourishment. Caring for yourself well enables you to give so much more to those people and things in your life that you value.
