About My Clients

Have you spent a lot of time focusing on everyone around you? Are you ready to spend some time on you? Let me help you create a life that feels nourishing and sustainable. I believe that you can achieve lasting change and a deeper connection to self by making a series of small changes in your daily life. My clients are able explore your values and help you establish a sustainable self-care practice.

My Background and Approach

I was trained as a person-centered therapist, who focuses on your unique strengths to help you step boldly into your power. I am eclectic and holistic in my approach, and utilize the creative process to help you explore your inner world. We'll work collaboratively to create change that feels sustainable, and strengthens your relationship to the most important person in your life- Y O U.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Life as we know it is hard. Society is set up in a way that pushes us to sacrifice our needs and overproduce, leaving us exhausted and empty. What we know, is that living like that isn't sustainable or authentic to our needs. True authenticity is living in a way that reflects your values, personality, and spirit. I believe that there's never an end to the work we can do to better understand and be true to ourselves. I believe that meaningful and lasting change happens when we make choices that feel authentic to our core being.
