I founded Root & Return Wellness upon the belief that we are all human – meaning that it is natural to feel a multitude of emotions that are both unique to the individual, as well as interconnected with our relationships with others. I believe the path to healing and growth begins with reconnecting to one’s self and the leadership already within you.

Compassion, acceptance, and kindness are the grounds for change and transformation. I commit to cultivating a sense of safety and agency as you explore your emotions, thoughts, and sensations, and to helping you “feel felt” through deep listening.

I have a holistic, “out of the box” approach. I draw on my depth of life experience and education providing clients a sense of feeling safe, seen and understood. I take an individualized, practical, down to earth approach in guiding and facilitating change.
