Navigating through life's challenges can often feel overwhelming, whether it's grappling with feelings of anxiety, uncertainty, or a sense of hopelessness. Though these emotions are a natural part of the human experience, there are times when it can be beneficial to talk to someone who can help you reach a place of growth and healing. At the heart of my practice as a holistic therapist is the belief that everyone deserves to feel heard, supported, and encouraged as they work towards their therapeutic goals.

I am a firm believer that our mental and emotional health are just as important as our physical health and wellness. More often than not, we put ourselves on the back burner, taking care of others needs and then ignoring our own. In the world we live in, it’s also easy to push our emotions to the side and tell ourselves we "shouldn't" feel this way. Living well doesn't have to mean sacrificing your needs for others, it might just mean, we chose to intentionally put our energy into things that fill us up and allow us to feel more centered.

Thanks for being here. I support teens, young adults, and families navigating trauma, grief, postpartum challenges, anxiety, life transitions, and maternal mental health. I also work with parents, high school students, and young adults experiencing stress, identity questions, impulse control, ADHD, and overwhelm from screens or modern pressures. Many of the people I work with feel like they’ve been “holding everything together” while quietly falling through the cracks. If that sounds familiar—you’re in the right place. My background includes years working in the Rochester City School District, supporting K–12 students and families.

You understand why you feel this way, but insight alone doesn't always lead to healing. Together, we'll slow down, make sense of the patterns that keep showing up, and gently work toward lasting change. My goal is to help you feel more grounded, trust yourself more, and build a life that feels more aligned with who you are.

Our thoughts and life experiences deeply influence how we see ourselves and the world around us. That’s why it’s so important to feel truly heard and supported from the very first therapy session. I understand that addressing mental health concerns can feel overwhelming or even scary, which is why I strive to create a calm, safe, and trusting space where healing can begin. Reaching out for help when you're feeling lost is one of the most courageous and empowering decisions you can make. As your therapist, I will walk alongside you—guiding you through life’s challenges, helping you reconnect with your inner strength.

Are you living the life you want to live? No matter who you are or where you come from, life is challenging. We all deal with a variety of stressors regularly. From relationships to finances to self care, life is filled with many experiences that sometimes lead to feeling overwhelmed and under productive. On top of everyday stressors, many of us deal with anxiety, depression and the ongoing impact of traumas we’ve endured.

Life can become challenging, with or without a mental disorder. Regardless of the severity of your struggle, having professional support can be essential. I believe that the best way to get through the difficulties of life require selfempowerment. You may need an objective person with whom to process the curveballs life has thrown at you. You may need guidance and life skills (relaxation, coping, etc) to better handle overwhelming challenges. You may need directed professional care to help with symptoms associated with mental disorders. My job is to help get you back on the path to the life you want.
