MY APPROACH
My intention is to offer a holistic and non-pathologizing approach that meets each client wherever they are in life. I strive to hold space in a way that is compassionate and healing. It’s an honor for me to walk the path of well-being alongside those who seek my support.
I find nature healing, and deeply enjoy offering counseling sessions outdoors.
