With over 20 years of experience as a therapist, I am deeply passionate about helping adults and adolescents navigate life’s challenges and overcome seemingly impossible odds. I became a therapist because I know first hand the benefits of counseling...I have sat where you will sit having been a client myself! There is enormous benefit in unloading the emotions, hurts and traumas that we ignore and bury within ourselves. Avoiding the hard stuff can only last so long, eventually we have to face our burdens and walk through them; therapy gives you the chance to do just that, my role is to help you walk through that journey.

You’ve spent a lot of your life wondering, “Why does everything seem easier for everyone else?” Maybe you were the “smart but scattered” one. The one who pulled things off at the last minute, but paid for it in stress, burnout, and self-doubt. Maybe you’ve always felt like you were somehow… behind. Like everyone else got a handbook for life that that you never received. If you’re constantly comparing yourself, feeling like you’re playing catch-up, or wondering why you can’t just “get it together” like everyone else seems to, you’re not alone. And you’re not broken.

I believe counseling provides a meaningful exploration of your mental, physical, and spiritual well-being for you to navigate issues with more self-awareness and capability. I provide a counseling space free of judgment. I view counseling as a process in which you, the client, and I, the counselor, establish rapport and trust one another to explore the self, come together as a team to examine presenting problems, develop solutions, and work towards achieving goals to create wellness and improve your overall quality of life.

While life can bring joy and celebration, it can also be accompanied by anxiety, grief, and trauma. These challenges can feel overwhelming and impossibly lonely. As women, we can be particularly hard on ourselves and feel pressure to thrive despite these stressors. I am inspired by the strength and resiliency of women in a world that places immeasurable pressure on us to be perfect, polite, and put together. I feel grateful that I genuinely love my job as a therapist and consider it a privilege to hold a space of compassion and understanding for you, until you are able to extend that wholehearted acceptance towards yourself.

On the surface, things are going well, but maybe you've felt anxious or sad for a long time. Often times relationships, work, children- the responsibilities just keep piling up, and you're downright overwhelmed. You know that finding balance is important, but you often wonder what that even means. At the same time, you realize something has to change. Life can be painful. Therapy doesn't have to be and my goal is to make it less scary, help you feel heard, and encourage you to look within yourself to access the strength and tools that will propel your life forward. Let's connect!
