Life can be overwhelming, but you are not alone. I provide a safe space for women to explore their thoughts and feelings while developing healthier habits and coping skills. A goal of mine is to help women while they cannot control every aspect of the world around them, they can take control of how they interpret and deal with things in their environment. I am a person-centered therapist with a holistic approach focusing on client needs. I have experience working with children, adults, and families.

My areas of specialties include parenting, postpartum anxiety/depression, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, interpersonal relationships, relationship conflicts, self-esteem, life transitions, and PTSD.
I encourage individuals to make the healing journey meaningful to them. We start wherever you are and move at a pace that is comfortable for you. Reach out for a free consultation to explore if we’re a good fit and to begin a path toward healing and growth.
