I am licensed mental health counselor in WDSM passionate about helping people find a judgment-free space to process life's ups and downs, uncomfortable emotions, and breaking the walls that stand in the way of us living fulfilled lives.

I'm not like other therapists you may have been to. My dedication for helping others has been fueled by the adversity in my own life. I want my clients to be themselves in my space. I won't tell you what to do, but I'll walk with you while you figure out what the best route is to meet your goals for a healthy life. I enjoy working with young adults and adults who are motivated to find a solution to alleviate their depression, anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, and self-harming behaviors. I have experience working with BPD, pornography issues, infidelity and betrayal trauma, and general life transitions.

Life transitions can be exciting, scary, overwhelming, stressful, beautiful, or heartbreaking… and, oftentimes, they are a combination of multiple of these adjectives. They sometimes happen unexpectedly and can mean a new beginning, the end of a chapter, or even a turning point in one's life. The good news is you don’t have to navigate the complexities of them on your own. Whether you’re in the thick of transitioning into adolescence, adulthood, or motherhood… or you have been faced with infertility, pregnancy loss, or a NICU stay, I am here to join you on your journey and support you in working toward your goal of mental wellness.

Our world is fast paced. So, it makes sense that many individuals struggle with feelings of anxiety, isolation, or shame when they want to feel grounded, connected, and at peace. I help my clients to explore these and similar concerns and express themselves authentically.

Life is hard, and everyone needs support at one time or another. If you are experiencing anxiety, depression, tough relationships, or difficult transitions – you are not alone. We all reach points in our lives when we could use additional care and support to help us view things from a different angle. It can be hard to ask for help. It might even be scary, and that is okay. In many cases, feeling scared may be the first step in an amazing journey of growth and new opportunities.

Our minds are really good at shuttling between past and future, driven by our fears and desires, memories and imagination. This disconnection with our present reality has become even more severe with the advent of smartphones, the high levels of stress in our modern day lives, and endemic psychological trauma in our communities.
