Overview

If you are feeling overwhelmed, misunderstood, or stuck in patterns that make life hard, I can help.

If your relationships are straining under conflict, I can guide you towards understanding and finding common ground.

I offer a warm, creative, supportive space to find practical ways through life's storms.

My practice evolves with my community's needs, grounded in trauma-informed, affirming and family systems frameworks. I draw on play, narrative, experiential, somatic, DBT, Gottman, neurosequential, and relational therapies. I use Collaborative Problem Solving and solution-focused approaches to support your strengths and needs.

Reach out - let's connect.

If you are seeking a warm, supportive, collaborative and engaging space where your unique strengths are recognized and your differences are respected, I am here for you.

Together we can find both creative and practical ways to work through challenges and feel more grounded and connected.
