Feeling overwhelmed by life’s challenges? Navigating adoption, parenting, healing from trauma, or struggling with big life changes? I would love to help you find the clarity, strength, and growth you deserve. I’ve spent years helping adoptive families, children with trauma, and parents. I’m also passionate about supporting adults through big life changes—whether it’s career shifts or tough relationships. In addition, I’ve found a niche with women seeking clarity in their identities as they age. I’m a down-to-earth therapist who likes to bring humor into sessions—because let’s face it, being human can be overwhelming sometimes!

In my experience, many of our current struggles are rooted in the past. Untangling what we carry can feel daunting, especially when trying to make space for what we want. Our minds can be more complex than any mystery—and that’s where I come in! I’ve had great success using EMDR, IFS, CBT, EFT, and trauma therapies to help untie those knots.

I know reaching out for help can feel paralyzing, but you’ve already taken the first step! My goal is to create a safe, supportive, friendly space where you feel empowered and cared for. You’re the expert on your life, and I’m here to guide you toward your goals, help you manage stress, and feel more confident on your journey.
