I'm now accepting clients at my office in Cheshire where I offer outpatient counseling for youth, teen, and adult individuals and groups/families for a variety of concerns. I'm trained in and offer Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy on a case-by-case basis depending on your particular needs."

"Stuck. Fearful. Insecure. No boundaries. Can't say no. No self-care, self-worth, and self-confidence. Coming last, behind everyone and everything. How much does this resonate with you? It is so easy to fall into routines of going through the motions of everyday life, thinking you have to just deal with 'it.' Aligning yourself with false beliefs and distorted expectations, working so hard on who you think you're supposed to be, instead of being you are meant to be - it's exhausting. Let's work together on getting honest and discovering your most authentic, unique, incredible self."

"NOTE: Not currently taking new clients. Please check back in February 2020. My approach to therapy is collaboration, with my role being your guide and witness to validate your experience and achieve healing from within. Engaging in therapy to release strong emotions, find ways to become unstuck, or just learn new ways to navigate through this world by learning new tools for your tool belt. Engage in therapy to unpack baggage, old resentments to be able to "live" your life to its fullest potential. I look forward to helping you through your journey of self-discovery and healing."

"You're here because your journey to motherhood hasn't been what you planned. You may be struggling with the rollercoaster of infertility. You might be living through loss and need support during this painful, lonely time. Or maybe your baby is here, but motherhood doesn't feel like you expected. On the outside, everything seems fine as you juggle it all...but on the inside you're feeling completely overwhelmed. Sad. Worried. Isolated. Caught in a cycle of self-judgment.
