I hold a Master's in Professional Counseling and I'm certified through the International Association for Functional Hormone Health, which trained me to understand how hormonal imbalances, nutritional deficiencies, thyroid conditions, and cycle-related patterns show up in a woman's mental health. 

I'm also certified in Accelerated Resolution Therapy, trained through the Somatic Wilderness Therapy Institute in Boulder for nature-based therapeutic work, and I hold certifications in yoga, life coaching, personal training, and sound healing. I'm not a doctor and I don't diagnose medical conditions, but I know enough to ask the questions most therapists aren't asking. When your bloodwork, your thyroid, or your hormones need medical attention, I'll connect you with the right provider. 

My job is making sure we're not spending months trying to talk our way through something that's rooted in your body.

Most therapy stays in your head and focuses on talking about what you're feeling, why you might be feeling it, and how to cope with it. I do that too, but I also go below the shoulders. I look at your cycle, your hormones, your nutrition, your sleep, and your nervous system, because if your body is depleted, we can talk about your feelings every week for the next two years and it's not going to do shit. I also bring in tools like nature therapy, Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), oracle cards, neurographic painting, parts work, and archetypes to get the job done

No. Most of my clients come in saying "I'm anxious," "I'm exhausted," or "something is off and I can't figure out what." You don't need a label and you don't need to know what's wrong. You need someone who's going to look at the whole picture instead of handing you a coping skill and sending you on your way. That's what we do here.

No. I'm not anti-medication and I'm not a doctor. If medication is working for you, great. What I will do is talk to you about whether anyone has checked for deficiencies that long-term use of birth control or certain SSRIs can contribute to, and I might nudge you to get updated bloodwork. I want to give you more information, not take away things that are actually working for you.

I encourage my clients to track their menstrual cycles because it reveals patterns most therapy misses. When your anxiety, depression, impulsive behavior, or emotional crashes consistently cluster in the same window of your cycle, that's data, not a personality flaw. I give you a simple breakdown and ask you to track how you're feeling throughout the month, not just when you're bleeding. It's one of the fastest ways to shift from "what's wrong with me" to "oh, this is what my body does."

It's an approach to understanding how men and women communicate differently at a biological level. If you're managing, correcting, or over-functioning in your relationship, this work helps you understand why you're doing it and how to get your needs met without setting your partner up to fail. 

I don't believe you should be in therapy forever. We start with weekly sessions, build momentum, and adjust from there. The goal is always for you to outgrow me. Some clients wrap up in a few months. Some stick around every other week because they define therapy as self-care and they like having the space. I'm supportive of both as long as you're getting benefit from it. But my goal is always to have you graduate.

I'm not the right fit if you're experiencing active suicidality, psychosis, delirium, or severe persistent mental illness like schizophrenia or Bipolar 1 during active mania, because your brain is in overdrive and this process can fuel that. You need medical stabilization first, and I'd rather connect you with someone who can provide that than pretend I'm equipped for something I'm not. 

Same goes for severe eating disorders, active substance withdrawal from alcohol, benzodiazepines, or opiates, and acute traumatic brain injury. Those need a level of medical support beyond what I offer. I also do not work with diagnosed Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). If any of this applies to you, I'm happy to help you find the right provider. I have great referrals for holistic functional nutritionists, doctors, nurse practitioners.

I will sometimes recommend Function Health, Midi Health, Mochi Health. I may also refer to Modern Thyroid clinic for labs, DUTCH Test, or salvia testing.
