I'm the founder of Finding North Counseling, and I work with adults moving through trauma, grief, caregiving stress, addictive behaviors, and the hard transitions that come with a life in motion.
Part of why I do this work is that I found my own way through counseling, by going to counseling. There was a time when things came apart and left me confused, alone, and on the far side of addiction. With therapy, support, and a lot of honest effort, I found a version of myself I genuinely love today. If my story helps you feel less alone in yours, that’s a bridge I’m glad to stand on with you.
My approach is warm and grounded, with practical guidance and a touch of humor to keep things human. I draw on EMDR, a brain-based method that helps distressing memories lose their grip, along with cognitive-behavioral strategies, mindfulness, and trauma-informed care that follows your pace and your choices. With couples, I use the Gottman approach to break the argument cycle, repair after conflict, and rebuild closeness.
What We’ll Do Together
Together, we’ll make sense of what you’re feeling, name your inner strengths, and build real tools you can use when life gets loud. My role is to walk alongside you while you heal, grow, and reclaim your direction.
Outside the therapy hour, you’ll usually find me with my two dogs, Frosty and Merlot, crocheting something half-finished, or back out running for the shiny medals at the end. My motto says it best: “Your journey, our support. A steady path to healing.”
