My ideal clients are women and couples. I specialize in working with women who feel they must constantly have it all together. As an expert on the Superwoman schema, I provide a supportive & empowering space to navigate the pressures of strength, self-sacrifice, & high expectations. We will unlearn patterns of over-functioning, manage anxiety/depression, learn appropriate boundaries, and cultivate healthier relationships with yourself and others. My goal is to support you in embracing vulnerability, prioritizing your mental health, and redefining strength on your own terms.
I also specialize in helping couples truly understand each other beyond just words. I teach foundational communication skills—like active listening, interpreting intent, and recognizing the emotions behind what’s being said. My goal is to help you break unhealthy patterns and build a deeper, more connected relationship.
Whether you're carrying the weight of always being ‘strong’ or you're a couple looking for deeper understanding and connection, if you feel like I’m the right therapist for you, let’s book a consultation call and get to work!

Groups
Mother Wounds: Share, Heal, Grow
This group is a space for daughters who are navigating the complexities of strained relationships with their mothers. Many women carry emotional wounds from their upbringing, and it’s time to address the impact that has on the sense of self, relationships, and overall well-being. In this group, you’ll have the opportunity to share your experiences, heal from past hurts, and begin the journey of self-empowerment. Together, we’ll explore how these mother wounds shape our lives and our interactions with others, and learn tools to cope and move forward on your journey.
