Let’s do this!

I have over 18 years experience working with children, adults & families. I’m skilled at helping people tackle serious, sometimes scary changes without letting it feel heavy or overwhelming. I believe there’s humor in most things, and I have a knack for finding the golden thread in life—the small, meaningful moments that make growth possible and even joyful. Coming from a large family has prepared me to work alongside clients in an honest and grounded way. There is not much that can surprise me!

Our first session will cover the basics, and will serve as a "getting to know you" appointment. I like to take time to connect and ensure that it is a right fit for your needs. By the end of your first session, we will have a plan on how to move forward.

My experience is rooted in the mind + body connect.
