About My Clients

I work with individuals through familial issues, past trauma, decreasing screen time/increasing organic connection, relationships, career transitions, and reaching a higher level of self-actualization. My preferred method of practicing is in-person sessions. I'm a strong believer that we communicate and express our emotions through many nonverbal cues, facial expressions, and gestures and feel there is much value to the in-person experience.

My Background and Approach

I am a therapist who is greatly motivated by helping clients to find a greater sense of meaning and purpose in their lives. I help you to identify your individual values & use these as an anchor and guide for navigating your way through your current life challenges in a way that represents who you are and that you can grow from. I believe too much screen time is detrimental to mental health & can be a barrier to many fulfilling experiences. I greatly utilize connecting with nature, cultural connection, spirituality, & creativity in work with clients. I believe the therapeutic relationship is an extremely important vehicle for change in an individual's life. I encourage clients to welcome their imperfections and eccentricities into session and work with folks to move away from perfectionistic ideals are often counterproductive to happiness. I welcome any spiritual or religious beliefs that clients can also use as an anchor in our work together.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

In recent years, I have made a shift towards incorporating spirituality, creativity,& connection with nature into my practice. Culture & heritage can also be a tremendous resource for therapeutic work as a greater understanding of our pasts helps us create a better future. There's nothing quite like the unique connection and presence that could be felt from the natural world. I work with clients from around the country and around the world and often hear about different natural landscapes and how these environments influence the individual. I encourage time spent in nature & with animals. In incorporate natural landscapes into work on ancestral & cultural connection & healing as well as I believe these greatly influence us. In a post- Covid society, too many of us have grown accustomed to spending an abundance of time behind screens and not connecting with each other & the organic world. I work with you to find the people and places in life that make you feel alive & invigorated.
