Women experience many unique stressors. We face outside pressures from society, family, and friends about how we should act, look, or feel. Are you are in a crisis situation, going through a separation/divorce, struggling with the demands of school, peer pressure, parenting and/or step parenting? Do you feel like you don't have the strength to handle it all or that you have lost yourself in the process.

She provides a safe, supportive, judgment-free space to help you work through barriers that lie between where you are and where you want to be. What would you do if you knew you would not fail?

What happens when the world around you falls apart? What happens when everything you've been told about reality no longer holds weight? What do I do with the fact that I no longer love who or what I used to love? For the past 8 years I've worked with clients who have asked these questions. Therapy is a place where you can reconnect to that taproot that makes you yourself. It strengthens your ability to bounce back while also opening up doors of creativity. It is a place where you feel like you are finally coming home again.
