You’re not just looking for a therapist—you’re looking for someone who gets it. Life can feel heavy. Sometimes it’s the weight of relationships that leave you feeling drained. Other times, it’s anxiety that won’t let go, or the quiet exhaustion of trying to hold everything together—at school, at work, or at home. Maybe you’ve been navigating trauma, depression, anger, or self-harm in silence. You question your identity, belonging, and worth or have concerns related to women's mental wellness. My practice creates a space where your story is honored, and your healing journey supported. At the heart, you want to feel whole again.

I offer trauma-informed, neurodivergent-affirming care for children, youth, adults, couples, families. I support organizations for mental health awareness. Using CBT, ACT, DBT-Informed, Motivational Interviewing, Solution Focused and Emotion-Focused Therapy, I tailor support to your needs—with the option of using a faith-informed lens.

You may be carrying more than anyone knows—and that weight doesn’t have to be yours alone. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, or simply longing for a space to breathe and be heard, I’m here to walk with you. Healing begins with one brave step. I invite you to a free 15-min consultation. I look forward to connecting with you via video or in person sessions.

I work with clients who navigate anxiety, trauma, depression, OCD, self-harm, identity, and relational stress from a trauma and attachment lens with a faith-sensitive care option. Treatment involves understanding your story, setting goals, and using CBT, DBT-Informed, EFFT, and more. Most of my clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement thereafter.

I draw from CBT, DBT-Informed, Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness, Solution-Focused, and Emotion-Focused Therapy. In our sessions, would use mindfulness to begin. During treatment, I'll help you learn how to push back against thoughts and change actions for the better." Therapy is collaborative, trauma-informed, designed to help you feel seen and equipped to make decisions that heal.
