Introduction

My goal is to help you recalibrate your inner compass and tap into your own strengths. I want you to move forward with a resilience that persists long after our work with one another is complete. 
Our time together will create space for you to identify goals and then we will create a roadmap to get you where you want to be. I always begin with some education about the nervous system and how this impacts your day to day life. Somatic interventions can help uncover core beliefs and reveal how they impact your life choices. Elements of Internal Family Systems are also woven in so that you can better understand the many parts of you and increase self compassion. I will offer you practical coping skills so you have a well of inner resources that will be with you always. I have specialized training in grief and am experienced supporting those undergoing cancer treatment. I have experience working within the healthcare system and am passionate about bridging the gap between physical and emotional wellness. I particularly enjoy working with adults who are invested in their overall health.
