I offer compassionate and confidential psychotherapy to adults. I believe that the aim of psychotherapy is to slow down and reflect on your feelings, on your relationships and on the patterns in your life that are stuck. Psychotherapy is beneficial to manifest who you would like to become and to live more authentically. Inherently, psychotherapy is concerned with relieving suffering, developing a deeper understanding of yourself, increasing self-acceptance and creating your individual path in life.

I work with highly responsible adults who are coming out of long periods of stress—emotionally hard relationships, caregiving, demanding careers—and realizing they’re completely depleted. Maybe your life looks ‘fine’ from the outside, but inside you feel flat, trapped, or like you only have energy to collapse on the couch. You may experience anxiety, depression, or other health challenges, and want more than symptom relief; you want to rebuild a life that may include meaningful work, a livable home, a stronger body, a sense of peace and safety, and real joy again.

I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Capella University. I currently offer individual and couples psychotherapy. In 2006 My work in human services began as an Outreach Worker in Lawrence, Massachusetts, where I developed a deep appreciation for meeting individuals where they are and addressing complex social and mental health needs in real-world settings. That early experience shaped what has become my life’s work.
Today, as an outpatient clinician, I continue to support individuals with a focus on first responders, healthcare workers and law enforcement with struggles whatever they are.

You’re usually the one who has it all together, but lately, you don’t even recognize the person in the mirror. As a high-achiever who feels the world deeply, you’ve been conditioned by "Human-Giver Syndrome" to over-pour into others while leaving your own cup empty. You’re exhausted and hitting a wall you can’t productivity-hack your way out of. Whether you’re navigating the not-enoughness of gender roles & expectations or the heavy weight of systemic stress, I see you. You don’t have to keep feeling broken; you just need a space where it is finally safe for YOU to receive care.

At times, life calls us to slow down and listen — not just to the world around us, but to the quiet voices within.

My role is to walk beside you as you reconnect with your inner wisdom and uncover the peace that already lives within you.
Together, we create a sacred space for exploration — a place where you can release old patterns, nurture self-trust, and open to greater alignment with your authentic self.

Everyone carries life experiences that can trigger feelings of trauma, insecurity, anger, or self-doubt.

Even setbacks can become stepping stones to something stronger.

Fundamentally we are interconnected with our world and those around us. For better or worse, the nurturing or traumatic experiences we have shape our beliefs about ourselves and the world. As children, we demonstrate innate capacity for creativity through the strategies we develop to get our needs met or simply survive. When later our circumstances change but our strategies do not, we may begin to feel inadequate, broken, isolated and cut off from ourselves. We may come to the conclusion that the world is unsafe and others can't be trusted.
