Together we can navigate your feelings, implement coping strategies that work for you, allowing you to be the best version you can be for yourself and others. I am direct and solution-focused and we will work together to address the stress, burnout, and anxiety that drain your cup and implement skills on how to refill.

You’re the one people rely on—the one who keeps everything running, takes care of others, and holds it all together. But under the weight of expectations, you may feel like you’re crumbling. Anxiety, exhaustion, and self-doubt can creep in, making it hard to know where you fit in the equation. Maybe your relationships feel one-sided, or you’ve lost sight of your own needs. You don’t have to navigate this alone. I provide a compassionate space where you can release the pressure, untangle the stress, and reconnect with yourself—without guilt.

I get it. You want to be seen-instead of feeling as if no one "gets it". Most days, you're trying to quiet that tiny voice in your head that tells you all the things that could wrong. Maybe some days you just don't have the energy to even pretend anymore. It's hard to try and hold it all together on the outside, when inside is barely hanging on. But here you are-reading this and looking for someone who will understand. You are worth more than what those anxious or negative thoughts tell you.

For me, therapy is a first and foremost relationship between myself and a client. The focus is you, what you bring into the therapy room, your emotions, your lived experiences, and your hopes, fears, needs, desires, and wish for a different experience in life. I’ve always liked to listen and observe the world around me, and I like to bring that side of me into the therapy room with you. I welcome clients from all walks of life and offer support, meeting you where you are now- even if we’re working toward a new goal or phase of life.

Female Therapists
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or because they feel more comfortable with a therapist of their own gender due to shared life experiences or perspectives. Considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender may matter or improve their therapeutic experience. The most important consideration is that a client is able to build a trusting relationship with their therapist.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist. For women, this could be because they believe that they will be able to better connect with a woman, and that a female therapist will be able to relate to their specific challenges and personal issues. It may be particularly beneficial for women to see a female therapist, for example, for gender-specific issues, such as sexism in the workplace, relationship issues, and gender roles. The most important factor in therapy is the client-therapist connection, and a therapist's gender as well as many other factors may play an important role in this.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
