If you're overwhelmed with responsibility, at a crossroads in life, or feel ready for a change (even if you don't know what that is), then I'm here to tell you that you're exactly where you're supposed to be. I’m passionate about helping women and highly sensitive individuals navigate relationships, build healthy self-esteem, and overcome anxiety to show up as their most confident and authentic selves.

My ideal client is someone with a history of anxiety or depression looking This inner voice serves as a compass in guiding the individual to understand what they need in times of difficulty. In turn, they develop a stronger relationship with themselves while increasing resilience. They achieve their goals of developing or sharpening tools they already possess to manage stress and progress in self realization.

My ideal client seeks self-exploration & understanding, facing issues like anxiety, depression, or relationship difficulties. They need a supportive space for personal growth, aiming to gain insight, develop coping strategies, improve communication, & foster healthy relationships. They aspire to enhance mental well-being, achieve a better life quality, & unlock their full potential.

We can face this together. Therapy often leads to better relationships, solutions to specific problems, and significant reductions in feelings of distress. I have a passion for working with clients struggling with challenges in their life including trauma, difficult life transitions, and navigating relationships. Clients will learn the skills to improve anxiety, depression, and communication. I treat a variety of mental health challenges including anxiety, ADHD, depression, trauma, Bipolar disorder, panic disorder, obsessive-compulsive and social communication disorders.

Are you feeling depressed, lonely, anxious, or irritable? Are you and your partner having the same argument over and over again?

As a licensed therapist and a certified school counselor, I have had the opportunity to work with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families with various concerns and issues.

Thank you for considering me as someone who may be a good fit for you. An important piece to YOUR success in this process is that you find someone with whom you can connect and feel comfortable.

Everyone needs someone to support them! I will be there to guide you and help you to create goals which are aligned with your individual and/or family needs.

Have you ever felt like life can be a rollercoaster? At times, the twists and turns of life can leave us overwhelmed, anxious, grieving, disconnected, or all of the above. Therapy can help you “ride the ride” with hope, courage, and purpose. I believe in the power of relationships, and I believe therapists should be just as authentic as they ask of their clients. My commitment to you is to bring my whole self into our time together, just as I ask of you. I will encourage you to trust your gut, trust the process, and trust yourself in what you need. I firmly believe that therapy, like self-care, is not “one size fits all."

Life can be very challenging. My role is to provide a warm and safe environment for my clients to normalize the crisis and life stressors, to reconnect with their latent strengths and potentials, to achieve balance and peace within themselves and their relationships.

Currently I have mostly morning availability with some limited afternoon availability. Within each person exists their own specific thoughts, feelings, and emotions. These are distinctly unique to the individual experiencing them - it is their truth. Sometimes though, these thoughts, feelings and emotions get intertwined and can be difficult to sort through. In these moments, clarity may seem very difficult to achieve. Through rediscovering your own many strengths (and yes, there are many!) we can identify ways that work for you to navigate these challenges and achieve getting to the destination you deserve to be at.

I’m so glad you’re here. I entered into this field to help others heal; and to be a source of reassurance and support for clients as they journey and navigate through hardships, obstacles and embrace personal growth and progress in their lives. I work with children, teens, adults and families, and I enjoy finding creative ways to engage with clients in sessions to help them find and maintain motivations, to enhance the therapeutic process and improve their own wellness. I utilize a client centered approach, meaning I meet clients where they are at, and work on helping clients to hold themselves accountable for work done in therapy.

I believe that people are their own best resource for finding strength and understanding their past to improve and heal their present. My role as a therapist is to hold the space and assist you, the client, in accessing your potential in a realistic, meaningful way.

Making change is hard and takes time. There is no ideal time to enter therapy, but I will meet you where you are at in the process, by providing a nonjudgmental and supportive environment.

My passion is working with adolescents trying to find their path, helping identify resources and navigate the complicated mental health system in order to access service. I work with children, teenagers, young adults and adults.

We all have unique stories: some are buried deep, some are open wounds, some we band aid and some we would rather forgot. Being able to have support and a safe place to look into these stories and then change the narrative to encompass the whole story requires a readiness to grow and heal from the inside out so that your new stories empower you and impact all of your relationships, including the relationship with yourself. Are you ready to heal and move into a more authentic and connected self?
