I specialize in working with children and adults who may be facing challenges with depression, anxiety, stress, self-esteem, relationships, life transitions, and loss.
I believe small steps create the most lasting changes. As much as we wish we could snap our fingers and instantly improve the many things we experience in life, it often takes time to grow and heal. Just because we can navigate life’s challenges alone, doesn’t mean we should have to. My goal is to empower my clients to learn to cultivate self-compassion and rediscover the tools you have within your reach to find fulfillment in every stage of life.

My ideal client is someone experiencing acute behavioral health challenges, such as anxiety, depression, or a crisis situation that disrupts their daily functioning. They may be overwhelmed by external stressors—such as work, relationships, or trauma—or they may be dealing with chronic mental health issues that have resurfaced due to a triggering event. Their issues often stem from a combination of internal struggles, like low self-worth or unprocessed trauma, and external/systemic pressures, such as social isolation or lack of access to adequate mental health care.
