You’re tired of pretending everything is fine when it’s not. Together, we can explore who you are, what matters to you, and what it means to move forward with clarity, confidence and courage. I believe real growth comes from a mix of self-compassion and honest insight which sometimes that means taking a closer look at patterns that aren’t working for you anymore, even if it feels a little uncomfortable at first. My approach is warm, curious, and gently challenging. You don’t have to navigate this alone.
As a second-career therapist, I bring a unique perspective into the counseling space. Whether you're facing unwanted anxiety, depression, burnout, grief, life transitions, motherhood struggles, or evolving personal or professional roles, you deserve a space where you feel truly seen, heard, and supported. We’ll go at a pace that feels right for you.
As a mom to 3, wife and professional, I have real life experience of trying to balance it all. Have you become so focused on responsibilities that you have lost sight of who you are and what you want? Or exhausted from constantly being “on” for everyone else? If any of this sounds familiar, I’d love to connect.
