I've worked with many unique populations, offering many different types of approaches within the therapeutic atmosphere such as Positive Recovery and Motivational Interviewing, as well as certain elements of mindfulness and guided imagery.
My mission as a counselor is to help my clients confront and address their struggles concerning substance use and other related issues. Along with that is helping them create a recovering lifestyle that they can be proud of. I serve those that struggle with an addiction and have the readiness to work through the issues addiction brings and promote self-improvement in their life of recovery.

I specialize in women's issues, embrace EMDR therapy, and mindfulness practices in my sessions to promote healing.
Are you the oldest adult child that experiences anxiety and feel like it's your responsibility to rescue others? Is your family one of the last places you can confide in your struggles because of the trauma and PTSD you've experienced? It’s important to acknowledge all the shit you’ve been through and that life isn’t always about getting it right. Despite facing numerous challenges, you're strong but don't fully believe that. Even when luck hasn't been in your favor, now you're prepared to engage in profound self-work.

Through Cognitive-Behavioral and mindfulness-based approaches, I help women feel safe to freely express themselves, reflect on their past, understand their emotions, & gradually rebuild this new version of life.
Have you recently experienced the end of a relationship or career, the death of a loved one, or a significant life transition that has you wondering when will life regain a sense of normalcy. Major life changes can feel like a rollercoaster ride, filled with ups, downs, and unexpected loops. Perhaps you feel like you don't recognize yourself anymore: more angry, less motivated, or experiencing waves of intense emotions. Either way, one thing is for sure: you're ready for some relief. You're ready for a new normal and I can help you get there.

Waitlist for new clients
Through IFS, attachment work, mindfulness and somatic based approaches, I help my clients feel calm in their bodies, unburden past traumas, work through their relationship hangups, and find their truest, most whole Self, that was there all along.
Your anxiety is sucking the life out of you. Maybe you find yourself constantly doubting everything you say and do. You have this awful voice inside that tells you something is fundamentally wrong with you... that you’re not good enough, or smart enough, or worthy enough, despite how hard you try to shut it up. Your relationships feels superficial. You overthink and stay small, because feeling lonely at least feels less scary than being rejected. But you hate that feeling too...so the cycle continues. There's a nagging feeling like how you grew up has something to do with this.

The world can be a tough place for neurodivergent folks. ADHD, autism, chronic illness, trauma, disability and mental health struggles can sometimes make meeting your own basic, everyday needs feel exhausting. Keeping up with the responsibilities and demands of life might leave you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, ashamed, lonely or embarrassed. Other people don't seem to understand why it's so hard for you and sometimes neither do you! You have so many strengths, but it feels like they're buried under layers of self-doubt, frustration and burnout. You're not broken. Your needs are different. You deserve support. We SO get it.

Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists
How does mindfulness-based cognitive therapy work?
Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy originated in the work of John Kabat-Zinn of the University of Massachusetts Medical School. He developed mindfulness-based stress reduction, which is a technique found in yoga and meditation. MBCT is a combination of this type of stress reduction and cognitive behavioral therapy; it essentially quiets emotional distress through mindfulness, utilizing proper breathing and meditation. These techniques aim to bring the individual into the present moment when in a state of distress.
When do I know if I need treatment with mindfulness-based cognitive therapy?
If an individual’s mind is filled with emotional distress and general negativity, the person may feel trapped. A mindfulness-based cognitive therapist can help a person change their thinking patterns as well as their behavior through calm acceptance and compassion. This therapy can provide an individual with the coping skills needed for a healthier and more constructive life.
What should I expect from mindfulness-based cognitive therapy?
This therapy often takes place in group sessions. A therapist will work with the group as well as with each individual. Meditation and breathing exercises are core practices that aim to invite inquiry and discovery into a person’s troubled mental state. The objective is to identify and lessen negative thoughts and behaviors and move toward optimal health and productivity. The individual will see life in a more realistic way. This therapy is supportive, accepting, and warm.
Is mindfulness-based cognitive therapy effective?
Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy is evidence-based and effective. One study found that people with major depressive disorder have benefitted from this type of therapy; the person accepts their distressed thoughts and also moves into healthier patterns of thinking. This therapy also aims to move an individual away from automatic negative responses. This type of therapy can bring a person lifelong change, with higher levels of satisfaction, less stress, as well as positive emotional and behavioral habits.
