I teach EVERYONE- how to manage difficult thoughts, feelings and behaviors. I teach parents how to help their children regulate their feelings, which in turn helps manage behaviors. My work focuses on the mind and the heart; I focus on reducing unnecessary suffering by learning how to explore the thoughts, feelings and behaviors that created the suffering. I help you overcome life obstacles while respecting your soul's journey. My goal is to pass my skills and knowledge onto parents, adults and children, so you don't need me anymore. I work late afternoons and evenings.

A clouded, anxious mind, a broken heart, a body that won’t quiet down. You have tried things and made progress, but you are still waiting for life to feel brighter and lighter. Maybe you are a young person under so much pressure, uncertain about the future, or you are someone who has endured so many hard things. Maybe you are just tired of feeling so much, of not feeling anything at all. You are wondering if a new path is possible. It is.

I support women, mothers, and young adults through major life changes, depression, anxiety, stress and overwhelm. I build real relationships with the women I work with so we can collaborate on your personal and unique goals and find strategies that help. Do you find yourself stressed out and overwhelmed? Do you feel like you’ve lost yourself as you care for others? Women have many roles in their lives and even though we can love those roles, it can be a challenge to prioritize yourself and your own needs. I've worked closely with individuals and families through some tough times and bring that experience to my work with you.

I help women and gender diverse folks negatively affected by trauma, grief, anxiety, and more. The people I work with struggle to figure out who they are and who they want to be. They find relationships and major life transitions hard to navigate, and are looking for empathy and collaboration in understanding themselves. I build genuine relationships with my clients to support you in sorting through how your past connects to the present. We will explore through a feminist and social-justice lens to see what is getting in your way. We will also explore the connection between mental health and the body for better self awareness.

How are you feeling right now? My clients are people from all different situations and are looking for meaning, connection, and help deciding what they want to do next. Life can be hard and scary, but by working together to understand trauma and what is impacting you, you will start to decide on solutions that feel good. You are taking the first step now, and you don't have to do this alone.

I am most proud of my ability to develop trusting relationships with clients of all ages. My training in DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy), CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), and Motivational Interviewing has provided me with the tools to turn theory into effective practice. My clients consistently tell me that, without ever being judgmental, I empower them to change for the better and become more self-confident, always within a safe, nurturing environment.

I value transparency and direct communication so that everyone can make informed decisions. Sometimes we hesitate to reach out for help because we compare our experience to that of other people. It's important to recognize that our experiences are unique, as are the challenges we face. Everyone deserves to be heard and to have the opportunity for good quality of life.
