If you've been powering through, staying strong and carrying on, but now you're barely getting by and you're tired of feeling like you're not really living your life, it might be time for outside support. The benefit of therapy is that it's a time where you get to focus on yourself, to look at your life, and to get an outside perspective on how it could be different. You don't have to just endure, with the right support, you can heal from the past, and move forward towards a better future.

Feeling like life's a rollercoaster you can't get off? Anxiety, ADHD, people-pleasing—everything's hitting you at once. Relationships are rocky, figuring out who you are feels like a puzzle, and work's just exhausting. But deep down, you know you're capable of more and want more than just chaos. You crave clarity, peace, and the skills to handle life's ups and downs with confidence. If this sounds like you, you're in the right place. Together, we'll delve into the root causes, embrace the messiness of being human, and navigate this journey side by side. Remember, seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness.

Sometimes the scariest thing to do is talk to someone, especially if we feel like we will be misunderstood, laughed at, or judged. As a therapist my goal is to create a safe, comfortable, and confidential space for you to have someone to talk to. I focus on helping clients enhance their holistic health, manage relationships and cope with the stressors that may come from life changing events or navigating multiple worlds. Much of my experience has been working with teenagers, college students, graduate students, and middle-aged adults.

As we travel on this life journey, we may face many challenges that require adapting and adjusting to life's changes. Therapy can help us understand these obstacles and learn new ways of overcoming them to create the life that we desire. My goal is to establish a collaborative, mutual therapeutic relationship of care, support and provide a nonjudgement space for my clients to recognize, share life experiences, and foster valuable coping skills. Together, we could identify the patterns limiting your life and develop tools to gain greater sense of clarity, and feelings of empowerment for positive change & reach self-awareness.

The experiences and challenges we go through in life do not define us but, instead, shape us into the individuals we are today. These experiences help us flourish and grow in ways we could not imagine ourselves. This is a philosophy that I hold in great regard when it comes to my practice and work with clients. I recognize that therapy can be intimidating to some. However, I am passionate about creating a space where we can come together and work through whatever you’re going through, no matter what it may look like.

Therapy can be a daunting thing to consider, especially when dealing with grief. Grief can be overwhelming and evoke feelings of anxiety, depression, hopelessness, and confusion. Grief changes us in an instant, sneaking in and building a home in facets of our lives that we least expect. Grief is not solely about death; it encompasses any loss we experience. If you feel you're not "grieving properly," find the grief journey too overwhelming, or believe that having someone accompany you on this path would be beneficial, working with me may be one way to address the internal chaos felt after a loss.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, unmotivated, or disconnected from yourself and those around you? If yes, I understand you and I want to provide the support you need. We’ve all been there at some point in our lives; job loss, end of a relationship, sickness in the family, feeling purposeless... While life can be challenging, there is always light at the end of the tunnel. And I want to walk alongside you towards finding the light in your life to rediscover joy and fulfillment. My approach creates a calm and safe space for you to openly express your thoughts and emotions.

I primarily work with individuals struggling with emotional dysregulation, life transitions, motherhood, relationship issues, and childhood trauma. I also support those just struggling with life. As a working mother, I get how hard it is to always be stressed, to feel frustrated, and overwhelmed. It’s hard prioritizing mental health when you are already burdened with so many responsibilities whether finances, home, kids, school, or work. I provide the support and resources clients need to regulate their emotions, adapt better coping mechanisms, reduce their toxic stress, and stop feeling guilty for prioritizing themselves!

Life can be challenging, leaving us feeling stuck, overwhelmed and pushed beyond our limits. From daily stresses and struggles to unexpected problems, we may not be aware of how these challenges impact us. In these moments, you may be in search of support, relief, change, growth or something different. Connecting with the right therapist to explore your needs is essential, and the relationship you develop is the most crucial aspect of therapy. I strive to offer you a safe, supportive, positive space to work through your challenges, understand your concerns and help you overcome the obstacles that come your way.

Life can often present us with unexpected challenges and adversities which require us to initiate change. I can help you explore and navigate concerns such grief, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationships, eating and body image concerns and more.
