Do you find yourself feeling “stuck” or confused after a major life change like having a baby, receiving an upsetting diagnosis, or losing a loved one? Are you struggling to feel like yourself again, worrying that a joyful and meaningful life is no longer possible for you? Women often come to me for help with big transitions, body image issues, chronic illness and pain, caregiving burnout, grief and bereavement, postpartum depression/anxiety/OCD (PMADs), fertility and reproductive issues, sexual trauma, and processing a new diagnosis.

Together, we can resolve the fear, guilt, shame, anger, confusion and numbness you may be feeling. We will work to increase self-understanding, improve your relationships, and create a healthy and peaceful inner world. You will feel empowered to explore the “why” behind your behavior, thoughts, and feelings without fear of judgement or criticism.

Imagine how wonderful it might feel to have an hour for yourself every week where you can slow down, become grounded, and tap into your own inner wisdom. You can absolutely create a new and improved “you” with the right support. Please reach out for a complimentary fifteen minute consultation to see if you’d like to work together.

A humanistic and integrative approach to therapy emphasizes empathy, self-growth, and the exploration of personal meaning. I tend to draw on a range of therapeutic techniques to address the unique needs of each individual, which can include CBT and mindfulness. It is holistic and adaptive, aiming to help clients achieve greater self-understanding, emotional well-being, and personal fulfillment.
