“The journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step” (Lao Tzu). ​Whether your journey is one of loss, transition, or simply learning to manage thoughts and feelings better, my job is to help you identify and take​ the next steps toward your wellness goals. My particular passion ​lies in helping women navigate grief. ​I also have experience helping adults and teens manage depression, anxiety, and other challenges. One of my favorite ways to help clients is to get them outdoors! I offer “walk-and-talk,” nature-based, and animal-assisted treatment options and am happy to explore those options with you, if you’re interested. My general approach to therapy can be described as acceptance-based & mindfulness-informed. Sometimes this looks like careful examination of thoughts (CBT). Sometimes it looks like a reassessment of relationship patterns (IPT/EFT). Often, it's simply allowing space for you to explore your thoughts and feelings in a compassionate, judgment-free environment. If any of this resonates with you, or if there is anything else you would like to improve for your mental, emotional, ​or spiritual health, please give me a call. I'd love to help you identify your next steps toward whatever your goals may be. También hablo español. Por favor, llámeme para más información.
