ArborVitae Counseling

My approach is based on genuine compassion, empathy and mutual respect. I have over 10 years of experience in the mental health field and would love to help you discover your personal strengths and resources, regaining your inherent vitality for life.

I work with trauma, depression, anxiety, life transitions, grief and loss, relationship and career/work issues. I am particularly interested in strengthening the connection between the mind and body using approaches including but not limited to dialogue, mindfulness, somatic, art, music, dance, nature and spirituality.

I work with older adolescents (16 and older) and adults. I also facilitate DBT and Wellness groups.
