Welcome!

I am a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC, NCC), group facilitator & integrative health & wellness educator (ACE-certified & RYT), dedicated to cultivating greater health, well-being, and aliveness in the world one body, heart, mind, and family at a time. I have a private counseling practice in Freeland on Whidbey Island and via telehealth, offer private Yoga/somatic instruction, and facilitate a variety of movement based therapeutic, educational and healing retreats, workshops and group events.

Why use a licensed mental health counselor

I work with all clients and students who are committed to their personal health, regardless of past history or limitations, with a special focus on those living with

  • stress related conditions
  • anxiety
  • depression
  • effects of trauma
  • relationship issues
  • chronic illness
  • those caring for an ill or aging loved one (family caregivers)
  • grief and loss experiences/transitions

 I believe wellness is our natural state, and is best attained when we live from the understanding that all parts are connected ~ body, mind, emotions, spirit, each other, and even the world in which we live. Wellness is not something that just happens to us, or that we are born into, or got lucky with somehow. Wellness is making an active choice to assume responsibility for the quality of our life, regardless of current physical or external conditions.     

The areas in our lives in which we most easily measure wellness are physical function, energy level, healthy relationships, clear thinking, self confidence, optimism, movement and fitness, nutrition, stress management, emotional flexibility and resilience, a sense of meaning and purpose, personal spirituality, humor, play, and the presence of ease and joy, in one form or another. 

I offer~

  • Individual, Group & Family Counseling

       using various evidence-based approaches, including EMDR, CBT, Family Systems, Somatic & Mindfulness-based approaches

  • Telehealth via an easy to use HIPPA-compliant private platform/portal
  • Integrative Health & Wellness Education & Coaching

  • Experiential Health Focused Educational &Therapeutic Workshops and Retreats  

     

May the life within you be strong & well!
