Introduction

I am available for telehealth sessions for clients in Michigan and North Carolina. I am also available in person in Asheville, NC. Feeling overwhelmed, down, like you can’t slow down, or maybe kinda ‘stuck’? You’re not alone. Finding therapeutic support that’s a good fit for you is a great next step. I’m here to help you slow down, reconnect with yourself, and rediscover your unique and meaningful ways of moving through the world. My approach is compassionate and meets you where you are. Healing isn’t one-size-fits-all – it’s about understanding your strengths, challenges, and inherent wisdom. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, feeling disconnected, or just trying to navigate life’s complexities, we can work together at a pace that feels safe and supportive for you. Drawing from trauma-informed practices and a holistic understanding of wellness, I can support you in exploring your inner world. I often utilize somatic awareness, mindfulness, and creative expression to create a collaborative space where you feel seen, respected, and empowered to grow. Together, we’ll honor your experiences, build on your inherent resilience, and help you develop more compassionate ways of caring for yourself.
