Therapy is a process through which you can learn more about yourself, your patterns, and how they affect your life. Through this process you can find a balance between striving for improvement, and working to accept things that cannot be changed in your life. Therapy is also a space where you can be radically honest and know you will not be judged. By actively participating in this process you can create a life full of meaning, joy, and fulfillment. Therapy is challenging, and also rewarding; my goal is to help you feel supported, validated, and encouraged along the way.

I am dedicated and passionate to supporting my clients. I have a background of using multiple approaches to fit the client's needs (Person-Centered, CBT techniques, Motivational interviewing, and Solution-Focus) while providing a safe, objective experience for my clients to freely speak and be their own selves. One aspect I value is using my clients’ interests (i.e. tv shows, movies, fandoms, games) to assist in relating and creating a deeper and more personalized therapeutic journey.

I believe that therapy can be a co-created space individualized to a person’s unique needs and desires for change. Therapy can be thought provoking and challenging while also being creative, playful and humorous. I believe that fostering growth in therapy does not just occur from clinical applications but also from a client’s own strengths and individual identity. Elements like culture, interests/hobbies, sense of humor, generational patterns, nutrition, exercise, language, learning style and social supports all play an important, integrative role in this co-created space.

I deeply respect the courage it takes to seek therapy. Choosing to turn inward and explore your emotional world is a meaningful investment in yourself.

I am most passionate about giving people the space to be listened to and understood. There are layers of emotions that one experiences in their day to day and being given the space to process them and understand them is a powerful thing. Emotional self-awareness is the foundation for great change because once someone becomes aware, they can make an active decision to be responsible in navigating their emotions in the healthiest ways possible!

I see therapy not only as a place to reduce symptoms, but as a process of expanding self-awareness, strengthening boundaries, and reclaiming agency.

You might look “put together” and “successful,” yet feel overwhelmed and stressed. If you’re a young woman, mom, or college student who feels like you always have to be “on,” carrying so much responsibility can be exhausting. I support women in gaining insight into their past and how it shapes their present. I offer a space to process past experiences and ask thoughtful questions to encourage reflection. If you’re ready to get to the root of what you’re experiencing, let’s connect.

I enjoy working with women navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges, self-esteem, and maternal mental health, including pregnancy, postpartum, and the transition to parenthood. I also enjoy working with couples who want to strengthen communication, navigate conflict, or reconnect with one another. Many of my clients feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from themselves. My goal is to create a place where you feel comfortable talking things through, better understand yourself, and develop practical tools to help you move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

I’ve had training in various modalities but ultimately use an eclectic approach emphasizing cognitive behavior therapy. I operate from the position that our thoughts strongly influence our moods and actions. My clients will gain a more intuitive understanding of themselves, better process their situation and consider which course of action makes the most sense. With some flexibility, a healthier perspective, and the right support, clients find that they are much more resilient and that situations don’t have to be as detrimental. My goal as your therapist is to support you on your path called life.

My ideal client is someone navigating grief, anxiety, or a life transition who seeks a compassionate, non-judgmental space to feel supported and understood. They may feel overwhelmed, emotionally stuck, or unsure of how to move forward. Their goal is to find clarity, strengthen their emotional resilience, and reconnect with themselves and others in a more meaningful way. They are open to exploring new insights, even if the process feels uncertain at first.

Therapy is a helpful way to reconnect with yourself and reawaken your senses. It allows you to slow down, notice what you are carrying, and create space for healing and clarity. It is a process of understanding your story, honoring your strengths, and learning new ways to move through life with intention.

I believe that many of our mental health needs stem from our reactions to stressful experiences. The ways our brains and bodies learn to overcome challenges can protect us, but are not always the most effective or safe responses to stress. As a therapist, I help people find more adaptive ways to respond to stress by promoting healing and strengthened self-compassion.
