"The challenge is not to be perfect - 

it is to be whole." ~ Jane Fonda

​

"Once we resolve to see clearly how things are, 

the process of healing - a word that at its root, means 'returning to wholeness' - can begin." ~ Gabor Mate

 

​

My work is to support you to heal your own self with clarity, insight, tools & practices that work for this unique time in your unique life. Ultimately your healing is your decision, one of the most important ones you will ever make & a choice that deserves deep honor, support & action.

​​

​

My clients find me during various times in life: moving from teen years to 20's, young adulthood, partnership/marriage, becoming a parent, transitions through parenting, mothering, mid-life, peri/menopause, loss, grief & aging. The anxiety, sadness, loss, upheaval & unknown along with the learning, empowering, gifts, joys & personal growth of these times is where I work best to help my clients.

 

​

There is suffering in so many ways in life & there is also relief from suffering in also so many ways.

​​

​

I work with each client by engaging a unique variety of individually curated healing tools: talk therapy, mindfulness, meditation, writing, yoga, movement, somatic/body healing, eco/nature therapy & more. My specialties lie within my own life experiences: anxiety, depression, identity as an empath/highly sensitive personality, eating disorders, panic attacks, migraines, early adulthood challenges, partnership/marriage, pregnancy, motherhood, parenthood, mid-life/hormonal challenges, insomnia, aging & loss/grief.

​

Life is a challenge, always requiring effort even just to exist. And then, there are the numerous life challenges that reach way beyond just existing. So many of them unexpected, confusing, painful & isolating. No matter how light or deep your life challenges are, you are not meant to face them alone.

You are not powerless.

You are stronger than you know.

I am here to help you live these truths.

Life can be & feel better than it is right now.
