counseling and therapy

"With an undefended heart, we can fall in love with life over and over every day. We can become children of wonder, grateful to be walking on earth, grateful to belong with each other and to all of creation. We can find our true refuge in every moment, in every breath." -Tara Brach

services

I offer individual counseling and therapy for adults.

​Using a relational, compassionate, experiential, and mindfulness-based approach, I help people navigate the inevitable challenges that come with being human, develop a kinder relationship with themselves, and lovingly communicate their needs and boundaries. 

​I provide a warm, client-centered relationship within which you will have the opportunity to safely practice being with yourself and another person in a new way.

who i work with

You are welcome regardless of gender, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, country of origin or citizenship status, religious or spiritual beliefs, or body type.
​
I have a passion for working with people who identify as helpers and healers.  

I also specialize in working with people who want to free themselves from perfectionism, people pleasing, or self-criticism so they can connect more fully and authentically with themselves, others, and their lives. 

Additionally, we may be a good fit if:
  • you have a hard time saying no, or expressing your needs and desires
  • you want to develop healthier boundaries and be confidently assertive
  • you are deeply in tune with your body or wish you were more embodied
  • authenticity in yourself and others matters greatly to you
  • you appreciate humor and creativity and thrive when met with a warm, compassionate presence
  • you feel things (like emotions, music, poetry, relationships) deeply and profoundly 
  • you identify as an introvert or a highly sensitive person
  • spirituality matters to you or is something you are curious about
  • you often ponder existential questions--about life's meaning and your purpose
  • you feel stuck or lost, perhaps in the midst of a transition in life or identity​
  • you want to be free from the grip of anxiety or depression

Reduced-fee availability: I set aside a number of reduced-fee slots for people who have limited funds, but are motivated to engage in therapeutic work at this time.
