I act as a source of support and encouragement while providing insight that results in positive change, all while in the comfort of your own home.
Are you the type of person who holds a lot inside and just wants a space to understand what’s really going on beneath the surface? Maybe you’re trying to make sense of your thoughts, manage emotions that feel overwhelming or numb, or change patterns that keep repeating. At TEA Time Therapeutic Services, the “TEA” we explore is your Thoughts, Emotions, and Actions. Together, we slow things down, uncover what’s driving your reactions, and build healthier ways of responding. The goal is to help you grow through what you’ve been carrying, heal what still hurts, and move toward a life that feels aligned with who you want to be

As a clinician, I am an avid believer that often times, my clients already possess all the tools needed to facilitate the change they are looking for within their lives, however, may be lacking the proper environment needed to process and achieve this. I provide my clients the space to gain clarity and understanding of the things they are in search for, as well as aid them in obtaining the things they hope to achieve and/or change within their lifestyle.

Have you felt disconnected from yourself lately? Investing more energy worrying about the future or rehashing the past than being fully present? Maybe you find yourself repeating old patterns in hopes that things will turn out differently. Or, you’re unhappy with the hand of cards you’ve been dealt and find it difficult to cope no matter what you try. I believe that accessing a rich and meaningful life is possible no matter your circumstances, and I want to help you discover how.

Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness! We all want this and deserve this, especially in our romantic relationships, so why do things go wrong? Lack of communication. The good news is, loving communication is a skill that can be learned, even after years of feeling stuck. When couples learn to talk about issues in a loving way, their whole relationship improves (yes, even in the bedroom!). Here's what we'll cover in counseling: • How to bring up a problem that’s bothering you • How to listen with an open heart • How to make sure your partner feels heard

I help women and mothers break free from stress, anxiety, and overwhelm using mindfulness, ACT therapy, and hypnotherapy.
You’re constantly juggling responsibilities—career, relationships, motherhood—yet stress and anxiety leave you feeling depleted and unseen. You long for balance, confidence, and a way to quiet the mental overwhelm. Maybe you struggle with perfectionism, people-pleasing, or the weight of “doing it all.” Deep down, you just want to feel at peace, in control, and connected to yourself again. You’re ready for real change, not just temporary fixes. You want tools that actually work, helping you show up as the calm, present, and confident version of yourself—without the guilt or burnout.
