About me
The seasons of life don't always come with clear transitions. Sometimes we find ourselves overwhelmed, stretched thin, or disconnected from who we thought we would be by now. What if this season wasn't about becoming someone new? What if it is about giving yourself more space to slow down and really understand what you need. I’m a licensed therapist dedicated to helping adults slow down, soften expectations, and reconnect with who they already are. My approach is rooted in compassion, empathy, and partnership, where I believe in walking alongside you, both emotionally and, when helpful, physically.
I offer Walk & Talk therapy as an alternative to traditional office or virtual sessions. Being outside and in motion can reduce stress, improve mood, and make it easier to explore difficult emotions and thoughts. The rhythm of movement can help us process experiences and shift patterns that no longer serve us.
I also offer Telehealth sessions, allowing you to access support in a way that fits your daily life. Whether you're adjusting to a new stage of life, seeking clarity in relationships, or healing from past trauma, we’ll work together to help you reconnect with your sense of self and build tools for lasting change.
