How I help

Therapy shaped around you, not a program

River & Root is a small practice with three ways in. Whatever brings you here, the work is collaborative, unhurried, and built for your actual life.

Individual Therapy
01

Individual Therapy

These are personalized one-on-one sessions, built around you. In a safe, supportive space we work through stress, anxiety, and the emotional challenges that come with being a person. Together we look at the patterns that have been holding you back, gently and at your pace, and start shaping a path forward. The work is grounded and collaborative. You are not doing it alone, and there is no script you have to follow. Just steady, focused attention on what matters to you and where you want to go.

  • Anxiety & overwhelm
  • Stress & burnout
  • Life transitions
  • Self-worth & growth

Couples Therapy
02

Couples Therapy

Relationships take both work and care, and I know that firsthand from decades of marriage. In couples therapy we work together to navigate conflict, rebuild trust, and deepen the connection between you. This is not about assigning blame or picking a winner. It is about helping two people understand each other more clearly and move forward with more honesty and commitment. Whether you are in a rough patch or simply want to grow closer, this work makes space for the real conversation and the lasting change underneath it.

  • Recurring conflict
  • Rebuilding trust
  • Growing distance
  • Transitions together

Mindfulness & Stress Relief
03

Mindfulness & Stress Relief

When stress runs the show, everything feels harder. These sessions focus on practical, evidence-informed approaches that many clients find help them manage stress, steady their emotions, and feel more like themselves. We draw on mindfulness to build coping skills you can actually use on a Tuesday afternoon, not only in the therapy room. I bring a long personal mindfulness and yoga practice to this work, so the tools are real, tested, and humane. The goal is not to never feel stressed. It is to feel more grounded when you do.

  • Racing thoughts
  • Emotional regulation
  • Sleep & tension
  • Everyday resilience

How I work

Steady, human, and built around you

No jargon and no pressure. Here is what you can count on in the room.

A river and a root

The name is how I think about healing. There is a current in all of us that wants to move toward health. Sometimes a fallen log blocks the flow, and the work is gently clearing the way. The root is what grounds you, the things that hold when life moves fast. Therapy tends to both.

The whole person, not the symptom

I treat you as a whole person, not a checklist of symptoms. The work blends talk therapy, mindfulness, and practical self-care so that change takes root in everyday life, not only in the session.

Grounded, compassionate, collaborative

My approach is steady and warm, focused on helping you move toward the life you actually want. You set the direction and I walk alongside you. No jargon, no pressure, just human attention.

Evidence-informed, used with care

I draw on approaches with real clinical grounding that many clients find help them build resilience and regain balance. They are practical tools, chosen for your situation, not a one-size-fits-all program.

Confidential and safe

Your privacy is protected. What you share in session, and the information you trust me with, stays confidential. Feeling safe is the starting point for everything else.
