When life feels heavy—whether it’s unprocessed pain, chronic health challenges, tough relationships, generational trauma, or unhelpful thought patterns—it can dim your light and leave you feeling stuck. So much of your energy can get tied up in just trying to protect yourself. While those strategies may have served you in the short-term, they can also hold you back from fully showing up as the amazing, whole person you are.

But here’s the beautiful thing: healing is always happening, and possible to optimize. 

Think of it like tending to a wound. When you have a cut, you clean it, add some ointment, and cover it with a bandage—not because you’re actively healing it yourself, but because you’re creating the conditions for your body’s natural healing process to unfold. In the same way, my role is to help you create the space and conditions to heal, so your mind, body, and spirit can do what they’re inherently designed to do.

Healing is about untangling the knots in your life. By understanding what’s happening in your brain, nervous system, and emotions, we can free up the energy tied up in survival. That energy can then flow into building a vibrant, empowered way of being—one where you can show up as your truest self.

Integrative Counseling for Mind, Body, & Spirit

My approach is integrative and deeply personal. With over 25 years of experience spanning medicine, therapy, and intuitive healing, I bring a unique blend of tools and insights to support people through life’s biggest challenges—and joys. I’ve worked with clients navigating trauma, loss, persistent pain, chronic health conditions, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and more.

But I’m not just a therapist—I’m a human being. I know firsthand how messy and beautiful life can be. I’ve had my own bumpy health experiences.  I’ve worn many hats in my own journey: professional ballet dancer, veterinarian (yes, I’ve even chased an ostrich!), counselor, consultant, and sometimes digital nomad. I’ve recreated myself more than once, and I’m still learning.

I believe healing and growth are lifelong processes. Sometimes, change is rapid; other times, it takes patience. I’m still learning how to slow down, savor joy, and embrace connection in my own life. Everyone I meet becomes my teacher in some way, and I bring that sense of curiosity and openness into my work with clients.

Whether your change is slow and steady or comes in quick bursts, I’ll hold space for you to find your way forward. And when life hands you lemons? Maybe, just maybe, we can turn them into sparkling lemonade.
