I am a welcoming therapist with a warm energy committed to providing a client-centered approach that takes into account every aspect of your identity. I have experience working with adults of all genders and all ages and particularly enjoy working with young women in emerging adulthood. I aim to provide LGBTQIA+, sex-positive, affirming services while incorporating a social justice anti-racist framework. In my clinical work, I draw from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy modalities and mindfulness approaches to meet clients “where they are.”

If you are a woman who is overwhelmed and feeling isolated you are not alone.

Trauma and Abuse, Depression and Anxiety, Relationship Challenges and Boundaries...these issues are interconnected and impact our whole being. When we've been harmed by the people God designed to love us, this shame message is so pervasive, it's almost impossible to understand that this shame is lying to you about you. Difficult but not impossible. If you want to change, grow, and heal, I hope you will contact me.

Your highest good lives within you, just waiting to be unleashed. Life is full of ups and downs, and it is easy to become overwhelmed by everything that goes on. When the difficulties become exhausting, a practice with care and compassion can make a difference. I focus on working with adult women from all backgrounds struggling with grief, relationships, career satisfaction, anxiety, and daily stress. Therapy is a refuge from the swift speed of life. Together, we'll bring compassion to your past, understand your present, and lay the foundation for a brighter future.

You've found yourself sitting in the car a little longer each day. Secretly, you sometimes hate going to work or arriving home. Breathing deeply, you brace yourself before walking into the chaos. You feel overwhelmed, overworked, & unseen. It's incredibly lonely being everyone's everything. Frustrated you think, "What is work-life balance?" As a mom or working woman , you are struggling to keep it all together. Life shouldn't feel like this! It's time to rediscover yourself and prioritize YOUR needs. I can provide the tools to help you find the balance & rest you deserve. Your professional & personal life will change for the better!

Do you often feel stressed and anxious? I enjoy helping women grow in freedom from anxiety, feeling isolated & overwhelmed in their personal &/or professional lives. I know from working with clients, they want peace of mind, to experience healthy relationships, feel fulfilled in who they are and lead lives of impact. Yet, sometimes we wonder after experiencing ongoing circumstances of disappointment and undue stress, where that woman went or how to find her again...Day to day reality, especially through significant times of change, can be overwhelming, resulting in feeling weighed down by much to do’s and a drive to keep performing.

I understand that life sometimes presents with challenges that seem difficult to overcome. Often these challenges contribute to mental heath problems, such as depression and anxiety. Left untreated, these problems can affect multiple areas of one's life.

I have over 10 years of experience working with children and families. My approach consists of a cognitive behavioral modality with am emphasis on behavior modification, trauma and psychoanalysis. I seek to understand how a person's thought pattern influences his or her behavior. I work with each of my client's to find out what works best for them. I am well suited working with children, women and men of all ages. I teach clients breathing techniques, relaxation and imagery skills so they can feel more embodied, calm and able to cope with life. I look forward to working with you.

Motherhood (and fatherhood!) looks different on everyone. My passion for maternal mental health sparked after having my daughter and I was able to fully appreciate the challenges and range of emotions that surface within parenthood from a lived experience. I then sought to specialize in Perinatal Mental Health to shift my focus from counseling children to counseling parents. When most people hear about Perinatal Mental Health, they often think of postpartum depression- but Perinatal Mental Health encompasses so much more than that! I work with women in all stages of parenthood including infertility, grief, and loss.

We are meant to be whole and well, with the ability to recover and heal. I help women and men with depression, anxiety, and relationship issues. I listen, then share information and tools that will help with their specific needs. My clients suffering with anxiety will be taught skills to become more grounded and self assured. My clients experiencing depression are given hope and tools. Couples in crisis or wanting a better relationship can thrive instead of just survive in the model I use. As a RN, I am specifically trained in how the body responds to stress, trauma, and change.

I currently work with women with adhd. If you are searching for help managing overwhleming feelings of anxiety, communication, paralysis, perfectionism, emotional regulation, procrastination, shame, imposter syndrome or difficulties from executive functioning struggles ( planning, working memory, getting started, making chocies, time blindness, procrastination, organizing, running the household, managing relationships) I may good fit for you. I work from a neuroaffirming approach, you are different and can learn your stregnth and value in a neurotypcial world. I offer affordable group therapy as well as individual therapy.

We understand how challenging it can be to cope with chronic illness, the loss of a loved one or living with the feeling of being unseen because you are the one that everyone else turns to. These experiences can bring up complex emotions such as sadness, anger, guilt, and anxiety, and can leave you feeling overwhelmed and isolated. That's why we offer a compassionate and supportive environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings and learn how to cope with your challenges in a healthy and empowering way. Healing is a journey, and we are here to walk with you through it, with a personalized approach to healing and growth.

Tackling all that may be thrown your way can be incredibly difficult especially if you take on the challenge alone. My goal is to support and hold space for you on that journey. If you are experiencing anxiety, grief, or life transitions, I will stand beside you as you work to process their impact on your day to day life. I am here to provide encouragement and time to vent your frustrations while offering helpful coping skills.

You are looking to break free from patterns in your life and in some ways you have succeeded and in other ways, it seems like a never-ending challenge. Trying to figure it all out on your own is not quite working as you find yourself reliving past situations that seem impossible to escape. There is a part of you that feels like no one understands so the internal struggle may even seem lonely at times causing you to feel defeated by your own life. You are tired of living this way yet you have hope and believe that your struggle can become your story. You imagine living a freeing life where you are genuinely happy again.

As a therapist, my experience is quite diverse and comprehensive. I have worked with individuals within many environments such as Treatment Centers, Schools (K-12), and on Military bases. I have functioned in the capacity of Mentor, Educator, Foster/Adoptive Parent and Counselor. Most recent position was a Military Family Life Counselor at Camp Lejeune in NC.
