About

As human beings we all encounter crossroads whether facing a difficult situation, feeling overwhelmed, or searching for a new path toward healing or growth. My hope is for clients to find support needed during challenging times- whether it’s healing, mentorship, connection, or a sense of belonging. I partner with respect, care and intention to support adults, new parents, adolescents and teens through a wide range of life challenges. Together, we work toward finding meaning in the storms—rediscovering hope, building strategies, and moving forward thru hardship, loss, or major life transitions with an open mind to listen patiently. I work to build trust, safety and rapport with: young adults, teens, adolescents, parents of all ages/stages, families going thru transitions (personal, medical, relationship, school or career changes), school / home concerns, medical stressors, anxiety, depression, Autism Spectrum specific needs, future career planning, grief / loss, PTSD and chronic pain. I welcome the opportunity to speak with potential clients to see how I may help to support you or your family find a comfortable, personal fit for any unique needs in the counseling process. Reach out via email or phone to request a free consultation. Whether we work together or I connect you with the right community resources, I’m here to help.
