Do you find yourself gripped by anxiety and self-criticism, no matter what you do? You feel alone and frustrated—with your anxiety, your relationships, your path in life. All the doubt and worry are holding you back and being hard on yourself and feeling disconnected has become the norm. Maybe you’ve been told you’re “too sensitive,” deepening your self-doubt and shame. Maybe you’re trying to conceive or are pregnant, and the uncertainty is hard to bear. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, relationships, motherhood, setting new boundaries or breaking old patterns, you’re ready to make a change.
This is a space to feel, let it all out, experiment, & plan your next moves. We’ll focus on dig-in-deep work AND developing practical skills, like mindfulness. Together, we’ll uncover why it all makes sense, & help you honor your emotions and needs wisely. Your relationships improve as a result of a life aligned with your values & your truest self.
Starting therapy can feel like a leap into the unknown, but you are braver than you think. I’m here to help you navigate everything that life’s throwing at you. I know that you can create inner peace, connection and lasting change. I am ready to listen and answer questions, so let’s connect for a free 20-minute phone consultation. I’m so glad you are here!

My approach to therapy is based on developing a caring and supportive relationship with me as your therapist, but most importantly within yourself. My LMFT background helps me tap into history and relationship dynamics needed for deep insight. I also use mindful self-compassion, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and borrow from IFS parts work to release shame and help you move forward.
