Empowering you to understand the "why" behind your struggles and create the "how" of moving forward is my goal. Through a narrative approach, I support my clients in building self-compassion and integrate somatic experiencing to feel grounded and embodied. The experience of being seen and understood creates a space to release shame, trauma, and stress. I specialize in working with women ready to overcome anxiety, people-pleasing, and relationship issues. Treatment goals often include healthy boundary setting, ending self-sabotaging, and building confidence.
I offer "walk and talk" outdoor sessions to help you get unstuck. Talk therapy, nature, and gentle movement work synergistically promote insight, relaxation, and creative problem solving. I also see clients virtually and in a traditional therapy office.
It takes courage to reach out for support. I'm here to provide an empathetic, judgement-free space to explore what healing and growth looks like for you. If you're ready to step into action, call or email me to connect.

In your first therapy session, we'll discuss the challenges you're seeking to overcome, explore how you want to feel, and create a personalized treatment plan. You'll have a judgement-free space to process openly, and I'll implement evidence-based interventions that align with your goals. We'll also discuss tools for emotional regulation and stress management between sessions.
