Nice to meet you
Working through a life change? In a slump or feeling stuck? I work with parents and children, individuals, and couples to stabilize and re-focus on choices, health, and healthy behaviors that support emotional and social well-being. Change is a part of life, and harnessing its power to move toward fulfillment is the foundation of our work together. I walk with clients through anxiety, grief and loss, new diagnoses, relationship shifts, and life pivots.
