You’re sick of feeling stuck, sad and stressed, not getting enough sleep because you stay awake worrying. At the expense of your own needs, you give so much to others and feel pulled into different directions at once. You're not even sure if you know who you are anymore. Your adventurous spirit is calling you to take some bold leaps and make some giant changes, but the thought of doing so causes anxiety, and this holds you back. There’s no award for going it alone. Let’s do it together! I’m here to help you stay true to yourself, pursue your passions, and leap into the unknown with the knowing that it will be 100% worth it.
I counsel individual adults (including young adults) who are embarking on new adventures or life transitions, including divorce or job and career changes. For relationship support, I provide therapy to couples and triads. I also work with those struggling with the grief of pet loss or working in animal-related fields such as rescue or veterinary medicine.
I am committed to creating an inclusive, sex-positive, environment where all sexual and relationship orientations are supported, including LGBTQ+ and non-monogamy. As a result of our work together, my clients enjoy greater self esteem and feel empowered to pursue their dreams and nurture authentic connections. Let's discuss how I may help you in counseling!
