Therapy with me is about getting unstuck, building awareness, and making changes that actually fit your life and create the change you're seeking.

I use a warm, collaborative approach grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ( CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients better understand their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors while building practical coping skills.
My ideal client is someone who is navigating a life transition or carrying emotional weight—whether that’s changes in motherhood, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, or simply feeling overwhelmed by life and responsibilities. They are looking for a safe, supportive space where they can be heard without judgment, learn practical tools to manage their thoughts and emotions, and receive guidance as they rebuild confidence, clarity, and balance. Their goal is not just to cope, but to heal, grow, and feel like themselves again in a safe place. They are ready for peace, growth, and meaningful change in their lives.

We all feel stuck at times. I believe this experience can result from an unhelpful pattern developed over time, and in addition to feeling lost or unfulfilled, we may find ourselves having emotional or behavioral concerns. From a non-judgmental space, I offer a supportive environment to connect while we work together to uncover the patterns that may contribute to pain and problems in your daily life. It is my aim to help illuminate different ways of being so that you may experience less pain, more satisfaction, and a greater quality of life.
