Individual therapy gives you space to pause, reflect, and explore patterns or coping strategies that may no longer serve you. Together, we work toward building awareness, resilience, and new ways of moving through life with greater clarity and deeper personal growth.

Being a teenager isn’t easy, juggling school, friends, family, life, and figuring out who you are. Sometimes it feels like too much to handle on your own. I give teens a private space to talk things through, make sense of feelings, and find ways to cope that actually work for them.

Relationships can be both rewarding and challenging. Therapy offers space to uncover patterns that get in the way of connection and to practice new ways of relating. Together, you’ll work on communication, trust, and intimacy, while navigating the unique challenges and changes that may arise.

"Nature Informed Therapy (NIT) blends evidence-based mental health practices with nature’s innate capacity for healing. We nurture human well-being by restoring connections - to ourselves, to each other, and to the natural world.
A core goal of NIT is reciprocity - supporting you in your healing journey in ways that also inspire care for the Earth. As people reconnect with nature, we are often moved to protect and restore it, creating a mutually supportive cycle where both human and ecological well-being can flourish."

Being a pilot brings unique challenges—high stakes, strict standards, irregular schedules, and pressures that aren’t always visible. Therapy offers a space to explore how all this affects your mental health: performance anxiety, stress, fear of failure, feeling disconnected, or grappling with transitions. Together, we’ll uncover patterns that might be holding you back, develop resilience, and practice tools suited for your life in the cockpit and beyond. Concerned about confidentiality? Sessions are handled with the utmost privacy, including HIPAA compliance, and insurance involvement is not required for self-pay clients.

Beyond one-on-one therapy, I offer opportunities for learning, connection, and growth in group and organizational settings. This includes processing and psychoeducation groups, nature-based experiences, and workshops or speaking events focused on communication, resilience, and mental health. Whether for therapy groups, teams, or organizations, these offerings are designed to spark conversation, build awareness, and support meaningful, lasting growth.
Therapy services are only available in California, including tele-health (both video or phone), as well as walk-and-talk and nature-informed sessions in the Sierra Nevada Foothills (Auburn and surrounding areas) when appropriate.
I do not accept insurance at this time, but I am happy to provide you with a superbill if you're interested in seeking reimbursement from your insurance provider for out-of-network services.
