My ideal client? She’s that strong, resilient woman who’s always been there for everyone else but now feels lost—caught in cycles of people-pleasing, unsteady boundaries, and relationships that leave her questioning her worth. She craves clarity, peace, and the freedom to break old patterns. She’s ambitious, whether stepping into motherhood, entrepreneurship, or just tired of surviving on autopilot. She knows something has to change. She’s ready to find her voice, heal old wounds, and live a life that feels truly fulfilling from the inside out. If that woman is you. I have good news. I’m here to help you do just that.

In over 40 years of practice, I have found that a combination of talk therapy and energy work is the most effective way to achieve emotional stability. My holistic mind-body approach helps reduce stress by releasing unprocessed emotions in the nervous system. As you let go of "stuck" emotional patterns, symptoms of anxiety, depression, and trauma begin to disappear.

Waitlist for new clients
Most clients come to therapy because they feel stuck. Some of my clients have inner conflicts, high-stress levels, or trauma that prevent them from forming meaningful relationships or being productive. They also don't know which option to take when faced with tough choices. Should you stay or walk out? Life commitments, family dysfunction, and questions about their ability to do the right thing when faced with decisions are so challenging. Sometimes we get to a certain stage in our lives where we could use a professional to help us navigate uncertainties. And that is when I step in to work with you through your struggles.

Lying awake at night, you wonder if you’ll ever be able to fall asleep again. Rethinking your day and overanalyzing every detail is exhausting, yet you can’t seem to put it to bed. Every day things get harder, while you keep putting that smile on, pretending you’re okay. Deep down, you feel like you’re falling apart. The more you think about everything you’re pushing away, the more overwhelming it becomes. The job you once loved feels like a burden. Your relationships are unfulfilling. A dark loneliness has settled over your life. With each passing day, you grow more resentful. You barely recognize yourself anymore.
