Thanks for being here — I know reaching out isn’t always easy. Are you facing the complexities of life and seeking a compassionate guide to help you navigate through them? I specialize in supporting adults 30+ navigating anxiety, depression, stress, substance use and recovery, and major life transitions. I also work with individuals living with disabilities, chronic illness, dual diagnoses, or life changes like an empty nest, a new diagnosis, or cancer treatment. My role is to be a steady support system—someone who listens deeply, meets you where you are, and helps you build coping tools to make daily life feel more manageable.
My approach is collaborative, gentle, and practical. I use a personalized holistic framework integrating Person-Centered Therapy, CBT, and Mindfulness. Together, we’ll explore what’s working, what isn’t, and build skills that help you manage emotions, reduce overwhelm, and feel more grounded and confident in your day-to-day life.
I am dedicated to fostering an inclusive and supportive environment, where individuals from all walks of life can feel heard and understood. I’ll offer tools you can use right away so you leave feeling supported and less alone. Outside of work, I’m a mindfulness-practicing empty nester who loves music—especially classic R&B and rock.
