Desiring connection with others? Struggling to see yourself in a positive light? In my personal and professional life, I feel a natural inclination to connect with and help others. I've had many meaningful experiences of need and brokenness in my own life, in which I have been genuinely touched by others that have come alongside me as agents of healing and strength. This sparked my desire to come alongside others and to help them develop a healthy view of themselves and positive attitudes that promote striving toward one's goals and cultivating healthy relationships.

I help women and youth tackle issues with trauma, stress/anxiety and life transitions. We live in a world of uncertainty and at times we find ourselves greatly overwhelmed by it. The difficult truth is uncertainty does'nt disappear. Best case scenario is we become more accepting of the uncertainty that we can’t change and more skilled at managing the uncertainty that’s ours to manage.

My ideal client is navigating change, identity exploration, or emotional pain like anxiety, depression, or trauma. They seek a safe, affirming space where all parts of them are welcomed, including those still emerging or long silenced. Whether stepping into adulthood, facing midlife shifts, or seeking meaning later in life, they long to reconnect with their authentic self. They are ready to heal, grow, and live more fully with support from someone who truly sees and honors them.

“Be who you needed when you were younger.” This has guided me since the beginning of my journey to becoming a therapist. For me, it carries deep meaning; a reminder of why I chose to do this work and who I hope to be for others. I became a marriage and family therapist because I believe our earliest relationships shape how we move through life. Sometimes, the challenges we face today are rooted in the environments we grew up in which created patterns, wounds, or unmet needs that continue to echo into adulthood. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you can explore your story, reconnect with yourself, and begin healing.

As a therapist, I believe that you already possess the tools needed to live a life of fulfillment, balance, and desired outcomes. However, sometimes due to a variety of reasons, we can become disempowered, afraid, or confused on how to utilize those tools in their entirety. Being able to recognize that those negative feelings are present is a great first step to tackling any issues you may face. I encourage clients to reach inside and rediscover those mental and emotional tools while also aiding them in discovering new tools that can help to improve their relationship with themselves and others.

You’re often looked at as the strong friend but feels as if no one checks in on you. You’re worried that people would look at you as weak or a “burden”. Everything is becoming so bottled up that you aren’t even sure who you are anymore. Something needs to change, but you can’t seem to pinpoint where to start. The healing process can be frightening to begin, and I commend you for taking the first step on looking for a therapist to help you through it! Taking this journey can allow you to explore your authentic self, step into the person you want to be, and create more loving and safe spaces around you.
