Peace feels like, a gentle breeze. The sun on your skin. A lovers touch. An exhale after holding your breath. Peace tastes like, the melting of candy on your tongue. The refreshing first sip of water after being thirsty for so long. Peace sounds like waves crashing. Your favorite song on the radio. Gentle affirmation that You Are Enough. Peace smells like your favorite essential oils wafting past your nose. Your favorite perfume scenting on your wrists. An inhale of fresh air after being closed-in tight. Peace looks like…you. Relaxed. Aligned mind, body and emotion. If you are missing peace, I've got you. Let's get started!
I offer individual therapy for women who are seeking an affirming, peace-filled space to process all things life! I specialize in providing trauma-informed care and supporting pregnant/postpartum mothers. I also offer a limited number of couples sessions for partners who are seeking to reconnect and grow. Please see more about me on my website.
You are enough. You deserve peace. I can't wait to meet you and get started.

I often use components of DBT or EMDR (for trauma) in my practice depending on your needs and preferences. I have an attachment-based lens though which I support you in exploring the ways in which your past impacts your present.
