Often people come to therapy because something in their life or relationships feels stuck, painful, or confusing. You might be navigating life transitions, academic or work pressures, or patterns in your relationships that leave you frustrated or disconnected. You want to feel more grounded, understood, and connected—to yourself, your family, and the people who matter most.

Life doesn’t always go as planned …and that’s okay. Whether you’re navigating a major transition, processing trauma, adjusting to pregnancy or motherhood, or simply feeling stuck, I’m here to walk alongside you with honesty, warmth, and genuine care. My approach is grounded and direct. I believe in meeting you where you are, not where anyone thinks you should be. I work with adults, children, and teens who are ready for therapy and start healing, even when it feels hard. If spirituality is an important part of your journey, I welcome that into our sessions as well.

As your therapist, I will guide you to recognize learned patterns of thinking, acting and feeling that may be creating suffering in your life. Together we will explore where and why you learned those patterns and what purpose they served. Once fully understood, you will find the self-compassion and courage to release those learned patterns and cultivate healthier ways of being. Through this process you will find greater self-awareness, self-compassion and new ways to create healthier relationships with yourself, others and life in general.

This is telehealth only. One of the best decisions you can make in your life is to reach out and ask for help. Therapy is about change and trying to figure out the old patterns that are not working anymore. As a parent of school-aged children and working in the mental health field, I recognize that people have been struggling. If you were struggling pre-pandemic I realize that COVID may have exasperated your feelings, your mood, and may have increased anxiety. I would like to be able to help you manage your struggles and develop a new way of life going forward.

With compassion, I hold a warm, empathic space for you to work through the complex emotions that come with the human experience.
