I am passionate about working with women who are navigating a major life transition but are finding themselves exhausted by their inner critic, judging themselves to the point of being stuck and shut down from their creative expression.

Do you have a nagging voice inside that is wondering when you will make YOU a priority? Engaging in therapy can bring clarity, growth, understanding, and change. Starting the process though is nerve wracking & overwhelming. I work with clients to create a nurturing, non-judgmental environment where you can express your "unedited" self, learn new skills, and build better relationships(with yourself too!). While this learning can occur independently with the use of self-help tools, working collaboratively with a therapist can make the journey toward change faster, less isolating, and even sometimes a bit fun.

Experience: During my lifetime, I have always had a very deeply invested interest in the psychology of the mind and how we, as people, develop emotionally, mentally and how that all connects to our physicality. This in turn had been applied to my undergraduate career by integrating that research into my work. I believed by delivering evidence-based and clinically-informed information to people about how interaction in all environments is fueled I could help more people feel heard, understood and empowered. This is where, at the end of my undergraduate career, I found myself diving deeper into the Psychological Profession.
