Living with the effects of narcissistic or emotional abuse from a partner, parent, or family member can leave you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, and cut off from yourself. Long-term manipulation and control can make you question your instincts, your memory, and even your sense of reality. You may know something was deeply wrong but find it hard to put into words. What you are looking for is straightforward: to feel clear, steady, and safe again.

Hello, thank you for reviewing my profile. Briefly, I am a Licensed Naturopathic Doctor, a Licensed Professional Counselor, and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I work with adult professional women dealing with anxiety, depression, past unresolved trauma, grief, stress, and relationship issues. My philosophy is that we need positive human beings in our lives to 'see' us and bear witness to our lives. To be fully human, we need at least one supportive individual who validates the part of ourselves that needs healing.

Are you currently or in the past going through a significant life transition; whether that's graduating, starting a new career, experiencing changes in relationships, or questioning your identity? You could be feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of what's next, and that could often carry self-doubt, anxiety, or the lingering weight of past trauma. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling like they "should" have it all figured out by now, but internally, they're navigating a storm of questions, emotions, and unmet needs. If you are seeking support, connection and tools to help you feel your best, look no further.

I work with adults, teens, and preteens who feel anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck in patterns that don't seem to change, even when they understand what's going on and have tried to think their way through it.

Together, we focus on helping you feel more grounded, capable, and connected to what matters most.

I understand how hard it is to ask for help. If this is the first time you're trying therapy or you had a negative experience in the past and trying again I commend you.
Maybe your past is messing with today. Maybe you’re worried about your children or you need to reconnect with them. Maybe addiction is the only solution you’ve found to numb your pain. Being emotionally healthy is having total peace about who you are, what you’re doing, and where you’re going, both individually and in relationship to those around you. And it’s a great place to start.

Struggling with anxiety, overwhelm, motivation, or just trying to keep up with life? Being an adult can feel confusing; I still catch myself looking for the “adultiest” adult in the room, only to realize it’s me. Whether you’re navigating stress, relationships, past experiences, or need a space to process what’s going on, we can figure it out together. Therapy with me is collaborative and respectful of your autonomy. I ask questions, not make assumptions, and help you build insight, confidence, and meaningful change.

Therapy doesn’t have to be stiff, awkward, or painfully serious. I work with thoughtful, self-aware adults who are tired of overthinking, people-pleasing, or feeling stuck in the same emotional loops. My style is relational, intuitive, and refreshingly honest...direct when needed, warm always, and often sprinkled with humor. I’ll meet you where you are, challenge what’s no longer working, and help you build insight, self-trust, and real change in a space that feels human, grounded, and real.

Parenting can be incredibly rewarding—and at times deeply challenging, especially when a child is experiencing behavioral or emotional concerns. Whether difficulties arise within the parent-child relationship, academics, peer interactions, or emotional regulation, I work collaboratively with families to provide support and effective strategies.
