Are you tired of managing anxiety and stress that prevents you from living the life you want to live? This can often show up through people pleasing, staying busy to distract yourself, or taking on the role of the strong, responsible friend who has it all together. But the weight of this emotional labor can leave you drained and exhausted. It may seem easier to avoid these feelings rather than be overwhelmed by them. As a result, you may struggle to have a sense of self.

Feeling stuck in a non-stop loop of worry, negative thoughts and critical self-image? Do you have a family member struggling with eating and have no idea where to turn? As a therapist with some of these lived experiences, I encourage each individual or family to come as they are to tackle these issues head-on, especially when paired with challenges like depression, anxiety, perfectionism, or ADHD. Together let's embrace your quirkiness and compassion in equal because, hey we’re all beautifully imperfect, right? My practice philosophy is anchored in the belief that every individual is unique and deserving of personalized care.

Are you tired of staying small and playing it safe? Do you find yourself spending lots of anxious energy trying not to be so sensitive because you learned early on your feelings are a bad thing? Are you wanting to show up in a way that feels more authentic to you, but you can’t seem to figure out how? Imagine what it would be like to feel good being yourself. There wouldn’t be so much of a need for things to appear picture perfect on the outside. You could actually honor your feelings and needs. You could take up space. You could move through the messier parts of your life with more confidence and compassion for yourself.

Hi there! I'm glad you're here. My goal is to provide a nonjudgemental, compassionate, and relaxed space for you, like going for coffee with a good listener (who offers skills, tips, and tricks when you need them). My focus areas include anxiety, depression, panic attacks and adjustment. I love working with all ages and genders but specialize in working with women in transitional times such as graduation, new adulthood/ motherhood, or life changes.

Feeling stuck and repeating the same story day after day can be exhausting. Even when things seem to change around you, it often feels like you're not changing with them. You might find yourself disconnected from who you are, longing for deeper connections with others and a sense of stability and safety you've never fully experienced. You aspire to explore the deep-rooted narratives and struggles that hold you back, seeking a fulfilling and enriching life.

Somewhere along the way you feel you lost yourself. Whether it be in motherhood, wifehood, single-hood, your career, or in relationships. For one reason or another, the person you face in the mirror is not who you thought you would become. That very reason, brought you here and we are so glad you found us. We are here to meet you where you are. True liberation comes when we can accept all of who we are, understanding that every part, no matter how painful, deserves love and care. I help women step into full power by rediscovering self, redefining womanhood, and creating balance to maintain harmony in their lives.

Welcome! I'm glad you're here. Whether you've tried therapy before or you're brand new to the process, taking these first steps can be nerve-wracking. Because of this, I believe that the safe, trusting environment and relationship built between therapist and client is at the core of this work. What’s most important to me is that you feel comfortable being yourself in therapy, and my goal is that you always feel heard, supported, and accepted. Therapy is different for everybody, and I want this process to be unique and personal to you and your needs.
