Let us be your Sherpas on your healing journey
I find personal fulfillment in being a small part of someone else’s journey. I know what it is like to struggle with loneliness, intrusive thoughts, and doing anything to fill that void just for a moment. I spent years battling my own challenges on my own before I found a therapist who helped me to expand my perspective, reshape my narrative, and live the life I always wanted. I became a therapist because I wanted to pay it forward; to be that person who can challenge your narrative, to be a part of your healing journey, and to help you to be your favorite version of yourself.
The past few years have been challenging for everyone in different ways. Resiliency is a muscle that must be trained like any other to be strong and healthy. Challenging circumstances don’t build resiliency – they can actually deteriorate it. It is how we respond to challenges that can build resiliency and finding a safe space to process can be a positive first step.
I work alongside Harley, who is my certified therapy dog. Harley and I have spent the past three years providing animal-assisted therapy in the school system and outpatient clinics and have been on the front lines of what has been a mental health crisis. I believe in a holistic approach to therapy and incorporate my wellness experiences as well as counseling theories such as existential therapy, narrative therapy, family systems, Gestalt, person-centered therapy, Gottman Method for Couples, and solution-focused therapy.
Harley and I specialize in family dynamics/divorce, parent coaching, trauma, school/work struggles, relationships, caregivers (compassion fatigue), body image, self-worth, career exploration, and athletics/performance mindset. I look at myself as a Sherpa helping to guide you on your personal journey to your Everest, whatever that may be.
When I am not working, you can find me outdoors with Harley, at the gym, playing sports and games with friends, or meditating. I am a certified yoga teacher and have experience as a fitness instructor and high school cross country and hockey coach. While working in high schools, I taught Sexual and Family Education as well as Yoga and Stress Management. I have also spent time as a global tour guide for teenagers.
Let’s work together to create a new narrative for your life and get you back on the path you were always meant to be on.
