While life can be painful and overwhelming at times, each of us has an innate ability to heal and move forwards. Maybe you're trying to meet the expectations of people around you, or struggling to figure out who you are and where you fit in. Perhaps you're a parent who is struggling to keep it together while raising children, or you might be feeling stuck in frustrating or unhealthy patterns, or unable to see yourself in a positive light. Perhaps you have always struggled to hold onto healthy relationships with people who will treat you well. Whatever it is, you don’t have to deal with it alone.

Medicaid accepted. Immediate availability. My approach to therapy is collaborative, strengths-based, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I believe that therapy is a partnership, and I work closely with my clients to create a safe and supportive environment where they can explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I believe that therapy should be a safe space where clients can feel comfortable exploring difficult topics and emotions. I work to identify strengths and build upon them, while also addressing areas of challenge.

In life, we can experience very difficult challenges that require change. Some of those challenging events may be difficult to move on from, leave you feeling stuck and unsure of how to proceed. Therapy can be a helpful way of helping you explore events, process emotions, and grow within new perspectives. I can help provide a warm, compassionate environment to do just that. It is important to me that you feel heard and understood. I find that in this type of therapeutic space, individuals are much more open to taking steps towards flexibility, developing insight, and finding a self-compassion they may not have discovered before.

The world we live in is not easy. Life is not easy, it can be very hard. What is easy, is to feel lost and unheard, to feel unloved and not enough. You are never too much, and always enough. I'm here to listen to you and your truth; You are the expert in your own experiences. I want to be on this path of self discovery and help with any past, present, and future challenges/experiences. I'd hope to create a safe and welcoming space on this journey for you. This first step is the hardest part.

What would it be like to be able to say "no" without fear, shame, or guilt? It takes courage to set boundaries, especially with people you love. I work with folks ready to understand their emotions and build the life they desire through setting boundaries in a healthy, values based, way. Healthy boundaries contribute to a sense of safety in any situation. You deserve to feel secure and in control of your actions, and to build healthier, more fulfilling relationships. I’ve had the privilege of working with a diverse range of individuals over the years, helping them establish healthy boundaries that lead to healthy relationships.

My experience is working with women who struggle with anxiety, trauma, emotional regulation, and low self-compassion. My target population are people who are often the “do it allers,” but leave little room to care and nurture themselves. I am a strong believer in the importance of resilience that is gained through lived experience, including trauma. However, constantly living with this protective armor, necessary when living in survival mode, often prevents us from living into who we truly are.

My aim for everyone I work with is a better connection to oneself and others, a greater sense of freedom, emotional integration, direction-purpose-fulfillment, inner strength-confidence-worth, and even peace and contentment. Anxiety, depression, trauma and all the symptoms of existence just stand in the way at the first. Relief and hope tends to be the first welcomed change upon starting.

Have you been to therapy before and it didn’t work for you? You don't feel seen or heard? Are you looking for a therapist to connect to and are comfortable with? I work with tweens and teens who never found the “right fit” for therapy. My clients routinely struggle with anxiety, unresolved trauma or low mood. They have continuing challenges growing up that leaves deep wounds—self-doubt, anxiety, and a constant feeling of not being enough. You may feel anxious in relationships facing strained family attachments, overly responsible for others, or unsure of who you really are. But you don’t have to keep living in that pattern.
