If you’re feeling stuck, unsure, or just exhausted from the search for the right therapist, I’m here to meet you where you are with empathy and understanding. In my work I help teens, young adults, and women of all ages navigate through life, particularly if you are struggling with anxiety, ADHD, trauma, or difficult/toxic relationship dynamics. I often support women in navigating the overwhelming transition into motherhood, recognizing how disorienting postpartum life can be. If you feel disconnected from yourself or others, weighed down by the past, or stuck in cycles of frustration and shame, I’d love to help.
I promise you are not alone in struggling to keep up with life. Together we will make a space for you to process some of the hardest and darkest moments you’ve faced, while also leaving room for humor, laughter and joy. My approach is genuine, empathetic, and geared toward creating a therapeutic relationship where you can come as you are and be accepted.
Therapy is a space to explore, heal, and grow at your own pace. My goal is to provide that space for you to gain clarity, confidence, and find healing. Together, we’ll explore how your past shapes your present, set boundaries, and work toward the life you envision. If this resonates with you, please send me an email—I’d love to connect and support you.

I help clients struggling to have healthy relationships or set boundaries necessary to maintain a sense of peace in their lives. I have experience with women navigating the season of postpartum knowing it can be unexpectedly disorienting. I also have extensive experience working with women and girls who have ADHD, which is often dismissed or unnoticed by others.
