Relationships shape so much of who we are - how we see ourselves, how we connect with others, and how we navigate life. Whether you’re preparing for a lifelong partnership or working through past wounds, therapy can help you find clarity, confidence, and connection. I specialize in working with women in their 20s and 30s, as well as premarital couples navigating the transition into marriage. My work focuses on improving communication, establishing healthy boundaries, advocating for your needs, healing from relationship pain (whether romantic or family-based), and breaking the cycles that keep you stuck.

I have over 6 years of Social Work experience helping adults, teens, children, and families in crisis.
My ideal client is someone who feels overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected whether that disconnection is from their partner, their past, or even themselves. They may be working through the effects of trauma, struggling with patterns related to substance use, or feeling lost in the dynamics of their relationships. At their core, they’re seeking relief, clarity, and the reassurance that they’re not alone in their experience. They want to feel grounded, reconnected, and more in tune with who they truly are.

I'm here for all of it. Therapy provides a space to explore, process, and heal from what no longer serves us. I understand that sharing and exposing those parts can feel scary and vulnerable. We often form attachments to those parts, believing they keep us safe and protect us. However, in doing so, we prevent ourselves from living our best lives—lives where we freely love, allow ourselves to feel love, and embrace being loved.
