Hi! I work with young adults needing help with anxiety, stress, boundary setting to take time for self care, self doubt and/or life transitions.

I specialize in working with young adults and transitional age youth (ages 16-32 yrs.). I am passionate about helping youth heal the inner conflicts that keep them from living freely and with the greatest joy. Specific areas I have ample experience include: Life transitions, overcoming self doubt and insecurities, reducing stress and anxiety, avoiding burn out, developing a better understanding of self and all the individual is capable, empowering youth to find his/her passion in life. Sessions with me are held in person, either at my office or in a natural setting. Nature’s quiet presence is nourishing and supports the healing process. I utilize mindfulness and somatic modalities to help my client's slow down and explore the areas of their life or parts of themselves that are needing attention, healing and growth. I am naturally compassionate and I bring passion, warmth and kindness to my healing work. I absolutely love being a guide to those on their healing paths, helping youth learn how to navigate life's challenges with wisdom, grace and authenticity. If you feel drawn to my approach, I am happy to talk
