Embrace All of You

You long for the day when you:

See yourself as enough—no matter what.

Feel energized, fulfilled, deeply connected. Whole.

Feel balanced in action AND rest; work AND play; self AND others—rather than stretched thin and depleted.

Make yourself a priority

See your not-so-pleasant emotions and thoughts as valid guideposts to your wants and needs.

With your commitment, I can help you turn your boulders into bridges on the road to emotional nourishment and fulfillment.

My Specialties

  • Self-Compassion and Growth

    Your inner bully is relentless. You hunger for kind words and time for yourself. But you don't know how, or you feel conflicted: "Do I deserve this?". I can help you own your worth, needs, wants and develop a more deeply connected, loving relationship with yourself.

  • Mental Health and Breastfeeding

    No one ever told you how hard infant feeding can be. You feel blindsided, alone, inadequate, and this is just the tip of the iceberg. Therapy can help NURTURE the provider, so that BOTH parent and baby can feel fully nourished.

  • Grief and Loss in Parenthood

    Reproductive challenges, child loss, and parenthood all come with additional losses. And losses come with a lot of difficult emotions and thoughts. I welcome you, and all of your emotions into our shared space.

  • Oncology Grief/Loss

    Whether you or a loved one received the diagnosis, you experience many layers of grief and transitions. Your identity, your routine, your vision for yourself may change. How can you feel whole, when your whole world feels broken? Let's work together to find out.
