About

Sometimes in life we get overwhelmed, feel stuck, and need help navigating transitions, uncertainty, or loss. The bulk of my professional experience before private practice was as a hospice social worker fostering emotional comfort for people approaching end of life. It honed my ability to hold compassionate presence while growing therapeutic approaches to meet an array of needs. I have a strong understanding of the ways losses can take shape, multiply, and be disenfranchised, how trauma can lace its way through life and shape our reactions, and ways to keep yourself afloat when life keeps stirring up storms.

My in-person practice is based outdoors and fuses walking (or rolling) into sessions to deepen processing, draw on nature, and heighten mindfulness. Virtual sessions often include EMDR to help desensitize and reprocess traumatic memories shaping how you live. I have a deep toolbox of therapeutic approaches we can draw on to find what works best for you.

Life can be sneaky and unpredictable as are grief and trauma. Together we can expand your emotional buoyancy and navigate the unexpected storms.
