Do you feel chronically anxious, frustrated or disconnected? Are you fighting to meet your own needs while caring for others? If you're grieving the life you envisioned while learning to accept the one you have, I specialize in helping women navigate stress, anxiety, and complex relationships. Many of my clients are helping professionals who are realigning their values and careers, challenging relationship dynamics with loved ones, or managing life-changing diagnoses such as auto-immune diseases. Together, we'll address emotional challenges, heal from past wounds, and create a path toward a more fulfilling future.

Let's find hope together! With 9 years of psychology and social work education, and 1,000+ hours of specialized training, I offer a range of tools to help you build coping skills, heal from trauma, strengthen relationships, and clarify your values. If you dislike traditional therapy, I also offer coffee shop or walk-and-talk sessions at reduced rates.

I believe that a positive, collaborative, and safe relationship is at the heart of effective therapy. While it can be challenging at times, there's also room for lightness and laughter along the way. Gaining insight into ourselves and breaking old patterns can be really rewarding. I'm excited to be part of your journey and can't wait to work with you!
