Being a woman today can mean living with a lot of insecurity and anxiety. You want to appear successful and put together, but deep down you are struggling to figure out who you are, cope with the chaos in your life, and work through a difficult past. The pressures of everyday life fill you with constant overwhelm, relationships feel distant and stressful, and your energy reserves have been depleted. You can hold it together and make it through the day, but by the time you get home you are exhausted. Cooking, dinner, socialization, and parenting seem like impossible tasks.

As a therapist, I help to hold that weight of anxiety, trauma, depression, relational conflict, and encourage self acceptance. Everyday we walk through life with all the aspirations and hope of what we want to achieve. We walk down this path, and are faced with many kinds of obstacles that make themselves known only after we least expect them. This can dim our internal light, and create waves of sadness, anger, fear/anxiety, trauma, and depression. Taking the first step by calling a therapist can be a hard step to accomplish, but one of the most rewarding.

Currently accepting new clients. Congratulations on taking that first step in seeking counseling. I fully recognize your strength and also appreciate everything that has led you to pursuing counseling. Sometimes we may become so frozen by all of the “what if” scenarios, caught thinking about the future. We may get stuck dwelling on the past and the things we wished we “should” have done. Other times there may be instances of life-changing events or traumas that may still haunt you. You are an individual with a unique set of identities, experiences, with a story to tell. I’m here to help you own and address your story.

I am passionate about patiently and empathetically walking individuals through the ups and down of life with customized paths of healing, recovery, and self-discovery. Feeling “stuck” is not a weakness, but rather an opportunity for self-exploration to gain the insight needed to live life authentically and to it’s fullest. I bring warmth and acceptance to every session and am committed to building trust with each individual who takes that brave step to engage in a transformative process.
