Whether you are feeling lost and uncertain about which path to take or struggling to trust your intuition while experiencing a world that often feels overwhelming, you've arrived in the right place. I am here to help you build a foundation that supports you and your soul-led path. My commitment is to provide a warm, and empathetic space as we navigate the past and present. We will become aware of maladaptive patterns, break them, while releasing burdens and expectations that do not serve you. Our collaborative efforts may involve finding meaning in your experiences while acknowledging, feeling, and processing emotions.

I work with women who have recently experienced a traumatic event and help them return to a sense of normal. I also work with women who have experienced traumas in the distant past but who have been feeling chronically anxious, depressed, out of control and/or hopeless. Perhaps you cannot remember the last time you did not feel anxious or depressed. Or perhaps your body being in stress for so many years has created health issues. Or perhaps you have turned to compulsive behaviors to escape or numb the pain such as over drinking, over eating, perfectionism, codependency, dieting, binge watching TV and more.

Does anxiety affect your ability to concentrate? Do you struggle with negative self-talk, self-criticism, regret for what you should or shouldn’t have done? Do you frequently compare yourself to others, & come up short? The stress of day-to-day life can become overwhelming & lead us to feel anxious & disconnected from ourselves, & our most essential relationships. We become exhausted, trying to manage work, family, friendships; only to find that we’ve neglected ourselves and our own needs. Let's work together to heal your past unresolved trauma, old wounds, gain clarity, achieve a sense of calm, & the confidence for you to thrive.

Hello! Welcome to a place of comfort, vulnerability, and most of all, open arms. I am here to help guide you to where you want to be no matter the means. Often mental health is overlooked and labeled as “just being in your head,” but with me, your thoughts, feelings, and experiences are validated and taken into great consideration. My goal for you is to feel a million times lighter after each session, as if the weight of your situation, whether good or bad, is lifted off of your shoulders. You matter, your well-being matters, and you deserve to have someone remind you that

You’ve tried it all—self-help books, podcasts, even weekly therapy—but you still find yourself just trying to get through each day. Your relationships feel strained because past traumatic experiences keep getting in the way of feeling safe and connected with others. You’re triggered by things you thought you had already worked through, and despite all your efforts, the symptoms, difficulties, and negative self-talk persist. You need help now, and the idea of spending months or years in traditional weekly therapy feels overwhelming and slow. I’m passionate about helping people heal deeply and rapidly through EMDR Therapy Intensives.

Although I am highly experienced in working with anxiety and trauma, my passion is to help women over 50 get into a loving relationship. Are you lonely? Being lonely has many ill effects upon your health and quality of life. Love adds years of better health and a longer life.

You will learn how to avoid repeating past dysfunctional patterns, and then how find the man to create the great relationship of your dreams.

Navigating life's circumstances and challenges can take up a lot of space in our lives. Maybe you are looking for more spaciousness, more time for yourself, or an extra ear to listen to and fully "get" you. Or perhaps anxiety or depression has become a constant presence, and you desire a change and want more connection. Sharing our experiences with others provides an opportunity to feel understood. In a therapeutic relationship, we explore patterns and coping strategies to better form a picture of how we operate in the world. It can help us identify what is and isn't working towards getting your needs met more fully.
