I create a space where women feel deeply seen, supported, and empowered, while remaining inclusive and welcoming to all. I work with women across the lifespan—from young adulthood through later life—as they navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship shifts, identity exploration, caregiver stress, and meaningful transitions. This includes career and academic changes, parenting and perinatal experiences, peri- and post-menopause, and the layered emotions that come with growth, loss, and change, including postpartum anxiety, postpartum depression, and PMDD.
Through a collaborative, client-centered approach, I support women in healing, building resilience, and exploring their emotions at their own pace. I am EMDR-trained, with specialized training in perinatal mental health and ongoing education in peri- and post-menopause, while working with women across all stages of adulthood.
I’m here to support you as you face challenges, manage stress, and build resilience—always in a way that feels right for you. Whatever season of life you’re in, you don’t have to navigate it alone. Together, we’ll work toward meaningful growth and lasting well-being, helping you move forward with greater confidence, clarity, self-trust, and strength.

I integrate CBT, ACT, and EMDR to support meaningful, lasting change. Together, we'll identify patterns that keep you stuck, build skills to respond differently to difficult thoughts and emotions, and process past experiences that may still be impacting you. My approach is collaborative, practical, and tailored to your goals.
