You are insightful and high-functioning, yet your inner world feels more complicated and exhausting than it needs to be. You notice recurring relationship patterns, overthinking, or anxiety that trace back to emotionally immature or high-control parenting or faith environments where feelings were overridden. I help women untangle attachment wounds and trauma so relationships feel grounded, secure, and more authentic.

Fast-moving thoughts and deep emotions can create a constant sense of pressure, leaving even high-functioning adults feeling overwhelmed by the effort of managing everything alone. When life feels like too much therapy can offers a steady place to slow down, understand what's happening internally, and build patterns that feel calmer and more sustainable. I support clients navigating ADHD, anxiety, depression, and the long‑term impact of childhood trauma. Through a trauma-informed lens and evidence-based modalities we explore what's beneath the surface, build insight, develop coping skills, and create lasting, meaningful change.

Welcome. I have over 15 years of experience working with people, and I specialize in supporting college students and adults who are navigating life transitions, relationship challenges, and questions about identity and self-expression. I have extensive experience working with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, and trauma-related concerns. Many of the people I support come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, unheard, or unsure how to communicate their needs. They often feel stuck in patterns they are struggling to change. My goal is to create a space where you feel truly seen, respected, and understood.

I am all set up to do video counseling sessions for new and on-going mental health sessions. Please call me for more information to set up your video counseling free interview. I believe most people face times in their lives when they need to seek help from a professional psychotherapist. Many people do not act on that need because of fear and shame. I believe the healthier you are the more likely you will feel it makes sense to collaborate with a mental health specialist.

I believe that how we interact with others in the present often grew out of lessons learned earlier in life. Sometimes, people use strategies to cope with situations that once made sense but are no longer effective or useful. I also believe that everyone has strengths that can help guide decisions and behaviors in the present. I believe in a collaborative approach to therapy, where we become travelers on your journey; we look at concerns, explore their origins and feelings that arise, and discuss how to view and handle situations here and now.

I currently work full-time at a public high school as an adjustment counselor.

You are capable, responsible, and high-functioning, yet internally carrying more than most people realize. Many of the women I work with are balancing demanding careers, motherhood, relationships, and significant personal responsibility. On the outside, they manage well. Privately, it feels unsustainable.

I am passionate about working with adults (18+) that are struggling with painful life experiences that affect their mental and physical health. I provide a safe, accepting environment, using evidence-based modalities for change, and support my clients in the process of healing and becoming the best versions of themselves. My clients are resilient- however, having to be "strong" and in survival mode all the time is exhausting, and it's okay to let your guard down with me. I aim to support my clients in not only surviving, but thriving. My clients achieve a healthier relationship with themselves, others, and the world around them.

And this is how I can help you- bringing my entire self into our therapy sessions and working with you on your healing journey.
