Psychotherapist and Guide Earth Heart Counseling
Specialties: Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, Attachment Issues, Blended Families,

Introduction

My goal as a therapist is to support you in reconnecting with your wholeness and belonging for healing and transformation. My openhearted and non-judgmental way of being with people invites you to honor all parts of who you are in this world and can create a greater sense of emotional safety. I am passionate about celebrating your strengths and resilience and working with you to address what is challenging, tender or painful in your life. I have worked extensively with women and families as a mentor, teacher, community organizer, advocate, mediator, therapist and guide. I have lived in the Charlottesville area for 20 years and am committed to the collective wellness of our community and the Earth. Please send a message if you have questions about my practice and/or would like to schedule a free 15 min consultation. I am seeing people in person, via telehealth and in natural areas in Charlottesville.
