After making the courageous decision to pursue therapy, the next step is to find a counselor that you connect with. I view empathy, trust, and being non-judgemental as the cornerstones of therapy and seek to provide a safe and welcoming space. My approach is collaborative and integrative, utilizing evidence-based practices such as mindfulness, CBT, DBT, MI, and Solution-Focused Therapy in a systemic approach anchored in humanistic theory, borrowing from several other orientations. I'm also an EMDRIA approved EMDR therapist.

“Change is painful, but nothing is as painful as staying stuck somewhere you don't belong.” It is easy to feel stuck when the negative self talk, and the painful memories consistently show up. People tell you you look like you have it all together, but inside you feel overwhelmed, irritable, anxious and burnt out. I help women break free from these pain points to live the lifestyle they desire. Our sessions together would be tailored to your needs to break through anxieties, negative cycles, traumas, and to create a lifestyle design that meets your needs through a holistic lens.

Even when we have tremendous anxiety and pain, the strength and resilience we desire already reside within us. During times of stress, grief or uncertainty, it is common to forget this and to adopt maladaptive styles of coping and communicating that tend to deepen our distress. Sometimes we fall back into negative thinking based on faulty core beliefs about ourselves and the world. I will hold space for you with empathy and non-judgment. You will be seen, you will be heard, and you will be supported in your growth.
