Stepping into therapy can feel daunting and confusing. It can also feel supportive and hopeful. My hope is to meet you somewhere along that spectrum so you can feel seen, grounded, and empowered to explore the places where disconnection, hurt, or repeating cycles have taken hold. Together, we’ll gently examine and untangle these patterns so there’s room for new ways of relating to yourself, others, and the world.
My therapeutic style is client-centered and holistic, honoring the full context of your lived experience. I work from an attachment-based, trauma-informed lens and am EMDR-trained.

I have been very effective in helping people find relief from anxiety, depression, and trauma, as well as improving the quality of their life and relationships. I provide a thorough assessment followed by a collaboratively developed treatment plan to effectively address your individual situation. My Goal is to treat you as a whole person - biological, psychological, relational and spiritual. Often talk therapy alone will not be as effective as it could be when combined with appropriate adjunctive treatment(s) and I will refer you to the appropriate specialist(s) or resources when needed.

Do you feel weighed down by anxiety, depression, grief, trauma-family, couple stress, or past experiences that are hard to move beyond? It can feel distressing to stay stuck in the same unhelpful patterns, even with insight and effort. If you want to feel more secure in yourself, your relationships, and your sense of purpose, therapy can help you move from getting by to thriving.

Welcome — I’m So Glad You’re Here
If you’ve found your way here, there is likely a part of you longing for deeper peace, connection, and self-trust. Perhaps you appear strong and capable to the world, yet inside you feel tired, uncertain, or disconnected from your own worth. You may be carrying fear, loneliness, sadness, or a quiet voice that tells you you’re not enough.
I want you to know—you are not broken.
You are becoming.
My work is devoted to walking alongside women and couples as they reconnect with their inner wisdom, compassion, and strength. I believe that healing is a sacred journey of remembering who you are.

Sometimes, life can feel like a lost melody leaving you struggling to find where you belong. Or maybe you've experienced deep loss and hope feels out of reach. My passion is to help you feel truly seen and heard. To me, therapy is about diving into the depths together—uncovering and restoring goodness, beauty, and love along the way. I bring a grounded, warm presence to each session—sometimes with a little humor woven in. I’ll meet you where you are and walk alongside you as we move through what feels stuck. I'm highly relational and genuinely curious about your story.

The people in your life see this strong and positive side of you, but on the inside you're feeling lost, confused, isolated, and like you don't know how much longer you can keep up this façade before the suffering starts to leak out and you lose complete control. Most clients with whom I work are struggling with depression, anxiety, insomnia, chronic pain and disability, general stress, and/or trauma/PTSD, problems which often come to the forefront following recent relational, work, and life stressors. I'm here to help you find your truth and commit to the meaningful journey of reaching your most empowered and authentic self.

I work with high-functioning adults who feel anxious, burned out, emotionally stuck, or caught in painful relationship patterns. Often, these struggles are connected to trauma, attachment wounds, or emotional neglect that may not be obvious at first. Therapy can help you understand the deeper roots of what you are experiencing, heal old patterns, and feel more grounded, connected, and at ease in your life.
