My clients experience many of the same issues you feel: anxiety, depression, breakups, divorce, parenting, lack of motivation, and setting boundaries in important life relationships.
For therapy to work, we have to first change the way you think so we can change the choices you make which ultimately changes the way you feel. If we begin working together, you will immediately see that I am always real and authentic. I hope to help you find solutions to your problems but also do so keeping patience and grace with yourself.

Perhaps you're struggling with relationship conflicts, the quiet disconnection that builds over time, or the pressure of balancing parenting, work, and personal fulfillment.
Therapy with me isn’t about fixing you—because you are not broken. It’s about reconnecting with yourself, finding clarity in uncertainty, and making space for both struggles and joys. Using ACT, mindfulness, and solution-focused strategies, we’ll build resilience, ease stress, and help you create a life that feels fulfilling, aligned, and meaningful.

I also love to support people through life transitions, perinatal and parenting challenges, depression and anxiety.
Many of the adults and teens I work with come to therapy because they feel overwhelmed by challenges that feel impossible to overcome. While they're coping in the best way they know how, this isn't what they envisioned for their lives. Most have attempted to shift things on their own or in therapy previously, while others feel lost and unsure of where to even begin. If this sounds familiar, you're not alone and you don’t have to navigate these tough times alone. I help people like you come out of survival mode so you can focus on what matters most and finally start feeling like yourself again.
