My vision is to utilize curiosity and genuine human connection alongside evidenced-based mental health practices, in order to equip you to cultivate an adventurous life, embrace the power of your unique story, and employ your strengths so that you may both prosper and continue your healing journey beyond the counseling office, long after our time together.

Most recognized by my gentle honesty, I’m an authentic human who helps folks find comfort and implement changes, while making meaning of this experience called life.

​​

My therapeutic approach is collaborative and empowering, a humanistic blending of Deep Exploration and Practical Application. I utilize evidence-based, person-centered practices such as CBT, Mindfulness, and Inner-Child / Parts Work in conjunction with Outdoor Recreation.

FOR COMPANIES

let's work together!

Hemlock Counseling Services is a safe, empowering space where distressed adults can heal their mental health, learn to trust their body & mind, and express & regulate their emotions, so that they can develop into the healthiest, most authentic versions of themselves — while also connecting with nature. When given proper support, everyone has the capacity to grow, and there is no cookie-cutter model for meeting your unique therapeutic needs. My job is to equip you to continue your healing independently, outside of the therapy office.

REVIEWS & TESTIMONIALS

kind words from clients

“I appreciate that you always meet me where I’m at. You’ll drop the agenda if I have a more immediate need.”

DOES THIS SOUND LIKE YOU?

we might be a good fit if:

01

You’re no stranger to self-help resources. It feels like you’ve tried everything! From books to podcasts, instagram psychologists, meditation apps, and #TherapyTok. You’ve seen some improvements, but aren’t quite where you wanna be yet. 

03

You’re curious about why you are the way you are and are in search of deeper insight.

05

You’re able and willing to make the financial investment and commit to showing up for the therapeutic process- because you believe your mental health is worth it. 

07

Sitting still and serious for a long time is challenging. You tend to learn/process in a more laid-back environment with freedom to fidget. You don’t like being put in a box and might identify as an enneagram 4. 

09

You love the outdoors and moving your body, and holistic health is a value of yours. 

02

You’re not one to sit passively on the couch and let therapy happen to you. You’re ready to put in the effort beyond our 60-minutes together to make some serious mental health gains outside of the office.

04

You’re down to be challenged and consider new ways of thinking and behaving. 

06

You’re drawn to people who keep it real, can laugh at themselves, are endlessly curious, and who are interested in lifelong self-expansion. 

08

This is your first time considering therapy OR you’re ready to give it a second chance - either way, you may be a little apprehensive and excited at the same time.

10

Deep down, you know you’re capable of more. You just need a nudge in the right direction, and the right kind of cheerleader.
