In an individual counseling session, you will have a safe and nurturing environment to share your thoughts and feelings.
You will receive empathy, validation, and support in processing the issues that you are confronting. In addition, I will provide you with a new perspective by offering insights and constructive feedback.
Together we can look at your options and co-create an authentic plan to help resolve the issues that are interfering with your happiness.

Somatic Healing
Our bodies are complex systems. We store memories in our muscles, bones, ligaments and cells. Trauma and shocks from the past are held within these physical systems.
I believe that we are all unique beings. When we are in balance with our true nature our growth and healing capacities are optimized. I can provide you with a variety of specific stretches and movements that will help you to be in closer harmony with your true nature. This can create new opportunities for growth and healing for you.
Use these stretches through out your life, to help you build stability, feel and express your emotions, harness your inner-strength and power, and move in a direction that is in alignment with your unique self.
You may request somatic healing services in conjunction with your individual session.
College and Career Planning
Choosing a college or career path is a big decision. It can feel overwhelming for teens and young adults.
I can help teens and young adults to identify their interests and strengths and core values. Then assist them in finding a college and or career path that is a good fit for them.
