Therapy with me is intentional, relaxed, and thoughtful—a place where you can slow down, feel understood, and create lasting change. I work with women and teen girls navigating relationships (including the one with themselves) and life's transitions like graduation, moving, pregnancy and postpartum, or loss. As a military spouse, I understand the challenges of starting over, frequent change, and finding your footing again. If it's meaningful to you, I also offer a faith-informed approach that thoughtfully integrates spirituality with evidence-based care in a way that honors your values and supports your goals.
I help women (13+) feel heard and hopeful by listening deeply and helping identify patterns and paths forward. With a client-centered approach, I treat things that many women experience like anxiety, depression, OCD, difficulties managing stress or adjusting to new environments, low self-esteem, perfectionism, interpersonal stress, grief, and trauma.
You deserve a place to put down the heavy load you're carrying. Scheduling an intake is the first step towards feeling heard, making sense of what feels messy and finding a path to the healthiest version of yourself. I can't wait to get to know you what makes you YOU.

I work with clients who feel anxious, depressed, disconnected, or stuck in unhealthy patterns in their lives and relationships. In our early sessions, we'll focus on understanding your story, identifying these patterns, and transition to creating healthier ways of relating to yourself and others so you can reconnect with greater meaning, joy, and connection.

This integrative approach helps us both understand the deeper patterns shaping how you think, feel, and relate, while also giving you practical tools to manage symptoms day to day. Therapy is collaborative and supportive—we work at your pace to create meaningful, lasting change.
