On the outside, everything seems perfect. But inside, stress and anxiety are holding you back. Life feels overwhelming—like it's spiraling out of control, especially when unexpected challenges arise. You're tired of feeling weighed down, fearful of failure, and disconnected from the calm and confidence you crave. It may be hard to even remember a time when life didn’t feel this way. But one thing is certain: you’re ready for change. Imagine feeling confident and empowered, able to relax and truly enjoy meaningful relationships. Picture yourself thriving—both at work and at home—as the best version of you.

Things can get better. I know it can be hard to believe that. Give me the opportunity to help you find what better looks like for you. It can be hard to reach out and ask for help, especially in a culture that encourages us to go it alone. But everyone needs help sometimes, and if you reach out to me I promise to meet your courage with warmth and compassion.

Waitlist for new clients
One of the greatest honors of my life is to be able to come alongside children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families, and be part of the process of deciding that they need some extra help. I believe most people get “stuck” in life at some point and find that thoughts, feelings, daily life activities, or relationships are struggling. My main values as a therapist include respect and dignity for every individual, humility that none of us have it “figured out", competence through evidence-based practices, and connection.

I specialize in adult women's mental health wellness. Helping you move beyond anxiety, depression, trauma, low self esteem, grief, & life issues to find happy, hope-filled, healthy lives & relationships. Sadness and fear don't have to be daily emotions. It's tiring, lonely, frustrating, terrifying & even heartbreaking to think this is your life. It's not what you hoped it would be - it's not what it should be. You want to be happy and able to cope with life, but it's just too much to handle and things aren't getting better. You feel like things will never change. Sometimes we just need support & understanding from someone helpful.

Do you feel you should be further along by now? Do you think you should have life figured out at this point? Do you believe you should be at the top of your career and making more money? Maybe you are struggling with past baggage from childhood that has carried over into adulthood. Someone once shared that using the word " should " places an unrealistic expectation on ourselves. Living in a world of comparison and uncertainty, challenges can seem difficult to overcome. In therapy, a counselor can walk alongside you to help figure out the "right now" and work toward building future goals.

As a child counselor, I create a space and build a relationship with your child that allows them to feel safe, organize experiences, and build skills to help your child thrive. I believe that every child has the ability to heal, solve problems, and develop a positive self-concept. I also believe that parents/caregivers are the most important part of the counseling process as they are the most important relationship in the child's life. I collaborate with parents/caregivers to create strategies to better connect with and support their child.
