Do you ever feel stressed and overwhelmed, as if you can’t catch a break from life’s challenges? Whether you are facing stress related to life transitions, work, relationships, or a crisis, I want you to know that as a compassionate counselor, I am here to offer a safe and supportive space to help you navigate these difficulties and discover your inner strength. I have experience working with survivors of various types of abuse, including narcissistic abuse, as well as people facing crises, grief, and trauma.
I specialize in supporting children and teens struggling with ADHD, stress, anxiety, and depression. I offer after-school and weekend appointments to better accommodate busy family schedules. I offer guidance to parents, which is often an integral part of supporting a child’s overall wellbeing, at no additional cost.
Beginning therapy can feel uncertain, especially during difficult times. I provide a warm, compassionate space to help you feel heard, supported, and empowered as you navigate life’s challenges. Reach out for a free consultation and to learn about my current availability.

In our initial sessions, we'll take a close look at the challenges you're facing and work together to create a plan that helps you tackle immediate issues while also setting long-term goals. Most of my clients notice a gradual improvement in their symptoms within the first couple of months, and they continue to see positive changes from there.

My approach is client-centered and flexible. In our first session, we'll explore what brings you to therapy. I use mindfulness based CBT to shift unhelpful thoughts.
