I want to help you find hope in your story, rebuild the brokenness and move towards wholeness. Many times people come to counseling because they feel as though they are in a place where they are stuck, feel desperation, and are struggling. I want to come alongside you to support you.

Are you seeking a safe space where you can be heard: good, bad, and everything in between? Have you or your child experienced trauma and you’re hoping to find healing? Are you currently pregnant or a parent to a newborn trying to navigate the many emotions and challenges that arise? Are you a seasoned parent who struggles with the ever-changing demands that may accompany parenthood? Do you find yourself debilitated by depression, anxiety, anger or low self-worth? If any of these feel familiar, please know you don’t have to continue suffering alone. Help is available and healing is possible.

My style of therapy is compassionate, empowering, and growth-provoking. I treat a range of sexual challenges including Mismatched Desire, Infidelity, Problems with Sexual Functioning (Early Ejaculation, Erectile Dysfunction, Painful Intercourse, etc.), and Sexual Trauma. I am in the process of becoming an AASECT certified Sex Therapist at The Buehler Institute California.

Often when we imagine the process of pregnancy and having a baby, we picture moments of happiness and joy. But pregnancy, birth, and parenting are like the rest of life. There is often joy, but there can be tough times too. Sometimes pregnancy and postparttum depression, anxiety and self-doubt become overwhelming. The unexpected happens, things don't go as planned, relationships change, or grief and loss occurs. If you are having concerns about becoming pregnant, pregnancy, birth, postpartum, pregnancy loss, or being a new parent, you are not alone. Please know it's not your fault, you can get help, and you can feel better.

Are you a woman who seems to have everything together but feels shattered inside? Trauma can leave us feeling damaged, broken, and disconnected from our true selves. But you're determined to make a change. You're ready to open up about your pain and experience liberation. I am here to assist you in achieving that goal!

The road to parenthood can be a beautiful time for many, but for others it can feel extremely daunting. From the time a woman finds out they are expecting, tons of hormonal and emotional changes will begin. I believe that having a strong support system to know about Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders (PMAD's) is essential to help navigate overwhelming and unpleasant symptoms! My goal, as a therapist, is to support, validate and meet clients where they are at in their mental health journey. I want all of my clients to know that they do not have to do this alone! I am here to help!

Do you feel like you’ve made it to a place professionally or personally where you expected to be happy but instead you are lashing out or suffering from anxiety or panic? Maybe you're noticing more frustration with people or certain thoughts holding you back. It’s possible this is coming from earlier experiences that you thought you’d moved on from. Otherwise, maybe you had expectations for pregnancy or child birth that were not met or were even traumatic, and you want to process this experience in order to move into the next stage of life.

NEW Clients NOW Accepted! Life is a journey which can be wonderful at times, but it can also be a difficult process and adjustment. If you are struggling with feeling sad or overwhelmed, you are not alone, and I am here to help! I offer emotional and therapeutic support to those experiencing anxiety and depressive symptoms due to life transitions. My passion is helping individuals navigate their journey to and through life goals.

Are you feeling trapped in a relentless cycle? Do you find yourself grappling with more shattered relationships than fulfilling ones? Perhaps you've recently welcomed a new baby into your life and are struggling to navigate the emotional landscape of motherhood. If any of these scenarios resonate with you, then I'm here to offer support.

My practice focuses on the overall well being of women in all stages of life. Women who aren't sure where to start but know that the current ways are not sustainable. Women who wonder if happiness really exists. Those who have had difficulty getting pregnant or difficulty during pregnancy or postpartum and the new moms who are sad, angry, or worrying a lot. Parents who are unsure of how to meet their child's needs as well as their own. Neurodivergent women who have been told there is nothing wrong with them and they just need to try harder. Women seeking feedback and a new perspective.

Do you have everyday, ordinary life struggles that you think aren’t ‘big enough’ for therapy? Or maybe you find yourself dealing with more severe issues of anxiety, depression, postpartum, or substance use? Regardless of your starting point it’s okay to admit you can’t do it alone; we were made to be social creatures. As a licensed professional counselor, my goal is to empower you to be the expert of your own life while simultaneously journeying alongside you as we navigate finding solutions together.

I am currently accepting new patients! My therapy style is warm, accepting, and active. I don't expect you to start therapy knowing exactly what you need - I'm here to help you figure it out! My approach is rooted in cognitive-behavioral therapy, but I creatively integrate DBT, trauma work, and psychodynamic therapy depending on your needs and preferences. I see our work together as a collaboration and I care deeply about your unique goals and strengths. I want to help you carry whatever it is that's weighing on you, and work toward solutions together. I truly look forward to working with you.
