As adults, we often carry the weight of the world on our shoulders—balancing careers, relationships, maybe parenthood, and the never-ending list of responsibilities. You show up for everyone else, but deep down, you know it’s time to show up for yourself too. Therapy is not about being fixed—it’s about being seen, heard, and supported. I’m not a therapist who just nods and takes notes. I’m real, engaged, and here to walk beside you through the hard stuff with honesty, humor, and heart. My goal is to help you create meaningful change, while making the process as empowering (and even enjoyable!) as possible.
Maybe from the outside, everything looks fine—but inside, you're overwhelmed. The stress and anxiety has been building for a while. You're stretched thin, constantly giving, and rarely receiving. People-pleasing and perfectionism have kept you afloat, but now you’re ready for something more—more clarity, more confidence, more you!
If you’ve tried therapy before and left feeling disappointed, I understand. That’s why I offer something different: a genuine connection and a space where your voice matters. Together, we’ll uncover the tools and inner strength you already have—and use them to move forward. Take a breath. Take a step. Let’s talk about how I can support you.
