Does life sometimes feel overwhelming and stressful? Have you noticed when just one thing in life is out of balance it can spill over into other areas too? This imbalance affects our moods and behaviors, our relationships and interactions with others personally and professionally. This does not just affect adults, it's affecting our youth and our children. The good thing is there is hope and resolution you already have access to, but perhaps haven't been able to tap into.. just yet.

It has been wisely said that we are wounded in relationship AND we heal in relationship. This therapeutic relationship is an invitation for you to safely engage your internal experience and connect with what you most need or want for yourself. Out of our wounding, we develop patterns that emerge to help us navigate our environments. These patterns can also keep us from being fully present to our lives, leaving us feeling stuck, exhausted, anxious, ashamed, depressed, and lonely. My approach to therapy is led by kindness and curious exploration, supporting you as the client to identify the genuine longings under these patterns.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, and as a counselor, it's my passion to come alongside individuals who seek to deepen their self-awareness and cultivate healthier long-lasting relationships. A foundational belief I hold is that we are created for relationships, and those relationships can shape or break us. With that being said, I believe the sacred relationship between client and therapist has the ability to offer profound opportunities for both healing and transformation. My primary goal in treatment is to make sure every person walks away from session feeling seen, heard, and felt.

It's been a weird last few years, hasn't it? In addition to the chaos and uncertainty in our world, maybe you're feeling chaos and uncertainty in your personal life. Therapy may help you find your way through. Anxiety, depression, trauma, relationships, career issues, stress, grief and transitions are among the issues I address in therapy. I've found what many people seem to need most is a safe place and person to talk through the concerns they can't discuss elsewhere, and be met with kindness, compassion, and clinical expertise. I am accepting new clients again beginning April 2026.

Life is not always easy. Anxiety, depression, addiction, conflict, major life changes such as the death of a loved one, entering college, or divorce, and every day stressors can result in loneliness, anger, compulsiveness, and a feeling of hopelessness.

You've spent years showing up for everyone else. Now you're in a season where the ground beneath you is shifting. The 40s, 50s, and 60s bring real change — evolving relationships, career pivots, empty nest, hormonal and health changes — but underneath all of it is something deeper: a woman reclaiming herself. Therapy can be the space where you finally get to explore that, without rushing, minimizing, or pretending you're "fine."
You don't have to figure this out alone.

As a licensed therapist with over a decade of experience, I feel truly honored to support adolescents and young adults navigating anxiety, depression, and neurodivergence. While I work with a range of challenges, I have particular expertise in ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder (Level 1), OCD, and anxiety. Many of my clients are bright, capable individuals who struggle with executive functioning challenges, emotional regulation, overwhelm, intrusive thoughts, or social stress. I take a strengths-based, relational approach that blends evidence-based strategies with practical skill-building and a touch of humor.
