I am certified in trauma informed care and I have experience working with adult clients from various backgrounds with complex trauma histories. My approach is collaborative, nurturing, empathetic, direct, and non-judgmental because I believe a safe, warm, and accepting environment is essential to the therapeutic process and guiding clients through their healing.

I have worked in the mental health field since 2018 and I have came to favor therapeutic modalities such as Person-Centered Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. My goal is to develop a genuine therapeutic alliance with each client rooted in an empathetic and nonjudgmental stance. I believe that we all have our own concept of what peace is and yet sometimes struggle to unlock what it takes to get there. I approach therapy with an ability to offer clients evidence-based remedies to their immediate emotional suffering while at the same time leaving space for a partnered exploration of long-term solutions.

You want to appear successful and like you have it “all together,” but deep down, you are struggling to manage your overthinking, perform when it counts, or feel like you’re “enough." Maybe you work hard but still don’t get the results you are striving for. When this happens, you say mean things to yourself you would NEVER say to anyone else. Or, you worry about something you said or did long after everyone else has forgotten about it. Additionally, you aren’t always sure how you really feel or what to do with your emotions. You may question why things are so difficult when it seems like everyone else gets through life more easily.

Are overwhelm, grief, rage, shame, etc. natural responses to living in systems that are often inequitable and unhealthy? If you feel taken over by such emotions, caught in behaviors that don't seem to help, or perhaps feel trapped in your own life, I would love to work with you. I am an anti-oppression practitioner. So, I want to work with people in a way that helps them see that they are inherently good, in spite of layers of social and cultural conditioning that may make them feel otherwise. Together we'll deconstruct the power dynamics at play in your life, and consider the multitude of factors that have created who you are.

I believe that even in a short time, meaningful change is possible. I work with women of all ages. My goal is to create a space filled with healing, care, and compassion, where you feel safe and supported. I believe that deep down, we all know what is best for ourselves, and my aim is not to dictate that path but to empower and support you as you discover it.

I enjoy working with clients who may feel something is missing in their life, they don’t feel satisfied with where they are at, may feel overwhelmed or stressed, or just can’t exactly pinpoint why they don’t feel they are at their best. Low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, conflict, significant life stressors and much more can easily deter us from our goals in life and it takes some work to get us back on track. I believe in self-empowerment and a more holistic approach to overall well-being. With a strong collaborative, strength based, and client-centered approach, I can help you begin the life you deserve.

Women come to me looking for a therapist who can guide them through the nuanced work of finding immediate relief from anxiety and overwhelm as well as getting to the root of the problem for deeper healing.
Are you someone whose life looks “good” from the outside, and yet it still feels like something is missing? You’ve accomplished a lot, but you’re not feeling the fulfillment you expected. Anxiety or a big life change – maybe a breakup, new job, new marriage, parenthood, change in family dynamic or move – has highlighted that you’re still not living the fullest, most authentic life you want to be living. Something is telling you that you need to make a shift (even if you’re not quite sure what it is). You want to gain deeper insight into yourself, your past and you’re ready to start living wholeheartedly and joyfully here and now.

Life's motion can feel intense and demanding, seeming to move at a pace beyond one's stride, resulting in chronic stress, increased anxiety, fear, and for some, chronic pain. Throughout this motion, self-care and nurturing relationships can feel overwhelming. Connecting with another human can be one of the safest ways to become grounded and encounter what is asking for acknowledgment and care. I believe the therapeutic relationship and environment has immense potential to provide a secure container for all that is felt to be seen and explored—giving fear the opportunity to be faced and transformed into intentional forward movement.

Healing takes time. Working holistically through EMDR, Somatic Experiencing & Motivational Interviewing, we can find a gentler, more effective means to healing. Therapy is a unique opportunity to be vulnerable and learn to experience a healthy relationship, with a foundation of trust and compassion. A diagnosis is not necessary, in my professional opinion, to work through the issues "in the tissues". Confidentiality offers you peace of mind and sets a foundation of trust between us. Our work together is about freeing the weight of the past & future anxieties, so you can enjoy life more and find peace.

The decision to begin therapy can be a difficult one that carries many emotions. I strive to be an open-minded and active listener for clients who find themselves embarking on this experience. I find that a non-judgmental, conversational style of therapy helps clients to feel more comfortable, while allowing them to address the needs that have brought them to this point. As a therapist my goal is to help clients gain a better understanding of their mental health, while providing them with the tools they need in order to cope with the ups and downs of life in the healthiest way possible.
