You are here for a reason. It is normal to experience symptoms that get in the way of our ability to function, connect with others, live the life we want, and feel aligned with purpose and energy. Let's work together to heal the origin of your wounds, translate them into your power, and make an impact in this world no matter how much time is left in your life journey.

Now is always the right time for positive change!

Find meaning, passion, and purpose once again.

I work with adults, seniors, and teens who are experiencing anxiety, depression, overwhelm, loneliness, anger, and paralysis about the state of the world and their place within it. They often describe a desire to live as their more authentic selves; make a bigger impact on positive change; have deeper and more meaningful relationships; transform financial struggles into new business ideas; and leave the world better than they found it. Additionally, as a survivor of breast cancer and meningitis, I also work with those who have chronic and terminal medical diagnoses, cancer, fear of death, or are facing end of life decisions.

My approach is centered in existential therapy to help people discover why they are here now; how to translate their pain, experiences, and symptoms into wisdom and skills; and pursue a life of meaning and purpose. I incorporate multiple modalities to customize therapy to each unique individual, including elements of mindfulness-based techniques, grief and loss counseling, CBT, ACT, and trauma healing.

​"You are an imperative part of this great cycle of life, what came before, and what will follow. Every moment is a line in your story and inextricably woven into the fabric of your family, community, humanity, our planet, and the universe. Purpose and meaning, blossomed within the soul, endlessly ripple across space and time to the cosmic beat of infinity."
