You've lost yourself in the busyness of life, especially since becoming a mom. You’re constantly giving and doing, yet still feel overwhelmed, anxious, and overstimulated. You might be emotionally drained, navigating big transitions like motherhood or identity shifts, and wondering when you’ll feel like yourself again. You’re craving calm, clarity, and a deeper connection to who you are beyond the roles you fill. You don’t have to do this alone. With compassion and the right support, healing is possible. I’d be honored to support you in finding your way back to a more grounded, authentic version of you.

The role of counselors is to ensure clients feel heard, respected, and validated and, in turn offer supportive and constructive feedback to help individuals gain greater insight and understanding. Therefore, I use a mix of compassionate techniques and problem solving strategies to aid individuals in problem resolution and management of their difficulties. This enables and empowers the individual to take charge of things and have control and direction in their lifestyle.

I enjoy working with individuals who are motivated to help themselves, open to change and willing to have deep conversations about their challenges. I have special interest in working with individuals who have endured any type of trauma in their lifetime or those experiencing relationship or family issues. I strive to provide an environment that clients feel safe, supported, and validated. In turn, this will lead to a positive therapeutic relationship in which self-reflection and processing can take place.

We’re the right fit for people who feel like they’re carrying more than they can hold—but keep showing up anyway. Our clients are caring, capable, and exhausted by anxiety, grief, disconnection, or the pressure to have it all together. Some are navigating identity, family stress, or major transitions. Others just want to feel like themselves again. Whether they’re 5 or 65, single or partnered, they want real support from people who show up. They’re not looking for surface talk—they want honesty, depth, and a therapist who genuinely cares.
