Nice to meet you
I work with young and mature adults, as well as couples, navigating grief, anxiety, depression, trauma, mood disorders, life transitions, and relationship or family conflict. My approach is eclectic and personalized, drawing from CBT, Motivational Interviewing, Person-Centered, Trauma-Informed care, and more. I’m a Certified Grief Counselor and Trauma Centered Trauma Sensitive Yoga Facilitator, and I strive to create a supportive space grounded in strength, authenticity, and compassion.
