My office is a space where your depth, sensitivity, and creativity are honored, and where you can move a little closer to what feels meaningful. You may be someone who takes in more than most: feelings, details, experiences that linger long after they pass, or even the unexpected joy that hides in moments that others might miss. My approach is flexible & centered on your strengths, your voice, and what matters most to you. Sessions are grounded and useful, while still honoring the sacredness of opening up and being listened to.
When the past shows up, we explore it. When the present feels heavy, we hold it. When the future is unclear, we face it together. Additionally, I have vast experience working with neurodivergent individuals, creatives, people navigating the challenges of a loved one’s addiction (past or present), and those managing the weight of past experiences/trauma.
Life has no handbook and you are not in this alone. You will receive my honesty and transparency in our work together. My office is a space for you to feel respected, supported, heard, and seen.

Madeline’s Pets
Honey Pie is a 6-year-old rescue who is a Maine Coon mix. I adopted her 4 years ago from Lawrence Humane Society. She follows me around everywhere I go and sleeps with me every night. She also chirps and meows at me all day long to let me know what she is up to. She is 15 pounds of love and furr.
Bill Murray, who is just called “Murray“ for short, is a 12-year-old Russian Blue. She was given to our family by a teacher whose cats had kittens – Murray was the runt of her litter. She is very playful and is always bossing us around. She is truly the character of the house.
