My ideal client is someone who isn't afraid to take ownership over their struggle—someone dedicated to the healing process and is willing to show up, be present, and let me into their world, even if just for a moment. They crave a deeper connection between their mind, body, and breath, and are open to getting creative and playful as we explore together. Therapy doesn’t have to be all serious, all the time; sometimes we meditate, move, breath, write or draw. It’s about leaning into whatever feels right in the moment, free from pressure or expectation. This process is dynamic, and I’m walking alongside you—because I’m doing “the work” too. Trust me, therapists don’t have it all figured out either! We’re in this together, embracing the messy, imperfect, beautiful work of becoming more conscious and intentional.

For me, connection is everything. Holding space for others, showing up authentically, and creating an environment where vulnerability can thrive is how I give back—and it’s also how I feel most human. I meet my clients exactly where they are, but I’m not afraid to nudge them outside their comfort zones to step closer to their most authentic selves. Together, we’ll strip away the facades of who you think you “should” be, making space for who you truly are. You are worthy of love, happiness, freedom, and respect—exactly as you are. Through this process, we’ll reflect, challenge patterns, and build a clearer path forward. We’ll embrace the mess, find the joy in progress, and move forward—together.

• Describe your perfect Sunday:

  Waking up slowly, consciously deciding PJ's all day, flirting with my husband as we prepare all the breakfast foods with our girls running around in the background - but, let's be real, more likely attached to me in some capacity. Add in a plunge in Lake Superior, a good hike and a warm beverage... Yeah, that's my happy.

• A book that you think everyone should read:

  The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz

  Wild Power by Alexandra Pope and Sjanie Jugo Wurlitzer
  (If you are a woman, know a woman, are raising women please read this book!)

• If you weren’t a mental health professional, what would you be doing?

  Oh, I don't know - probably guiding some sort of integrative movement/mindfulness retreat and then likely nauseating everyone else around me with discussions about feelings and systems work. You can't take the therapist out of the person.
