I am the co-founder of Women’s Therapy & Wellness LLC, a virtual practice focused on supporting the unique mental health needs of women.

Hi! I am a trauma therapist who goes beyond traditional talk therapy and cognitive interventions. Perhaps you are a self-aware person who just can't understand why it's so difficult to move on from certain things, or you're having reactions to things that just don't feel like the real you! I can help go to the heart of these issues to find what you need to still process or heal from. I treat trauma, including attachment trauma, sexual assault, witnessing domestic or community violence, and trauma of early childhood. I also treat clients who are experiencing guilt, shame, recurring negative cognitions, anxiety, and depression.

Now accepting new clients on a waitlist! Whether you’re new to therapy or have prior experiences, we will find approaches that work for YOU to take control of your life. Complexity is my specialty; our problems and experiences don’t exist in a vacuum. Making meaningful, lasting changes to our mental health can be difficult enough without factoring in a person’s experiences. Whether you’re dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction, boundaries, life stressors, suicidal ideation, intrusive thoughts, or a combination of the above, we will untangle it together.

Does it feel like you're spinning your wheels in talk therapy? Are you looking for a way to go deeper? Sometimes we don't always have the words to fully express complex thoughts, feelings, or experiences. Music therapy techniques can offer a multi-sensory medium for finding ways to more authentically exist, express, and find true healing. Through an eclectic blend of therapeutic techniques proven to be effective, individual goals may focus on:

I love what I do! It's more than a job it's a passion. It's about feeling privileged to being a part of your dreams, your fears, and the getting to know all of you, the good the bad, and all those hidden parts that you may not like. I welcome the whole of you, flaws and all. I will be here to cheer for your successes or be compassionately present for those dark moments.

I believe when we are able to feel safe, seen, and heard, we can heal. This is the basis for all healthy relationships, and my goal is to create a space for my clients to thrive based on this premise. With a trauma-informed approach, I understand so much shows up for us, including attachment and inner child wounds, grief, anxiety, depression, negative self-thoughts, and unhealthy coping skills. My goal is to help you understand what you've been through and create a new way of living that helps you feel most in connection with yourself.

I eagerly anticipate hearing your unique story and collaborating with you to navigate your journey towards mental wellness.

I see adults and adolescents of any age . I see quite a few couples and families to work through marital or parenting problems. Most of my clients are seeking insight about how to approach their problems in new ways, to acquire new understandings which enable them to see possibilities that may have been elusive to them without the added input of an experienced therapist. I have tried to develop a style that focuses on how to help people develop their capacity to tune in more deeply to their own inner awareness and knowledge, to see options that were previously unseen.
