My ideal client is someone who did grow up sharing their feelings without consequence or knowing that its ok to not be ok. Including those that did not know about or have access to therapy.

I am here to dispel the myth minorities may have with therapy and mental illness. Let's start a new narrative for you and your life.

The pressure of being a woman in today’s society can be challenging, even for the most successful. The idea that we have to “do it all” in order to “have it all” can be overwhelming. Each stage of a woman's life can present a different set of challenges. Are you struggling as you are entering into adulthood or find retirement to be a challenge? Somewhere in-between? Do you feel guilty because you chose a career over a family, or a family over a career? Maybe you chose both but feel you are not living up to your or everyone else's expectations? Do you feel like part of your life is missing but you are not sure how to find it?

Often clients think, "We love each other, we just fight too much." "I need help learning how to communicate my emotions." "I want this relationship to work, I just don't know how to get over the affair. I want to trust again." Is this you? Are these words you've said? Are you living in fear and pain, and desperate to find your way back to your partner and to a relationship that feels healthy and fulfilling?

In all, I have a HUGE heart for people and value building connections that will ultimately lead to emotional growth.

Have you ever felt that life has become too much to bear? That the worries of the world are compounded by your own independent search for emotional soothing and validation?

Therapy can be the boost your relationship and/or family needs to persevere in the adversity that comes in the form of infidelity, grief, difficulty communicating, poor work-life balance, lack of intimacy, and many more issues. There are times when life becomes difficult and it seems like it is always conflict and tough times. Therapy can provide tools and direction for regaining trust, restoring intimacy, problem-solving, healthy communication, and balance.

Are you overthinking instead of enjoying your life? Do you often feel misunderstood or disconnected from friends or loved ones? Does advice from others seem unhelpful or useless? Sometimes we notice we have become too hard on ourselves or others. We may notice an increasing sense of lonliness and begin to lose of sight of what is truly important. Do you ever wish you could just sit down with someone and sort it all out?

Transitioning from what we’ve known our whole life to a new beginning (or even just a new depth) is difficult. It means giving up beliefs or ways of living that didn’t serve us. And when we give up what we’ve known our whole life, it’s hard to envision a new way forward. Sometimes before we can make big changes, we have to understand the past. I believe our bodies hold our stories of struggle and when we don’t fully process what's within us, we can get stuck in our transitions. We will work together to shine a light on life experiences and traumas, and dusty old habits and beliefs that may be holding you back.
