Life gets busy; it sometimes feels too busy to stop and take a moment. When this happens, feelings of overwhelm, worry, and burnout occurs. I strive to help you take ownership and find strength when feeling powerless. I work with teens, college students, and adult women in areas of confidence, life transitions, and perinatal/women's issues. Loving who you are is not a linear process. I want to help you feel comfortable in your skin so you can navigate life feeling proud, confident, and worthy of meaningful connections.

Teenage-hood can be ROUGH. It's when teens want independence and are figuring out their identity and parents would just like to know what's going on. We say things we don't mean to people we love or we aren't finding a way to communicate where everyone feels heard. So many other factors have an impact like trauma, attachment, oppression, timeframes, shame, world events, culture, and family history. I could keep that list going forever and that's too much to figure out alone.

It’s not that therapy isn’t for everybody. You just haven’t found the right therapist. Navigating life can be heavy all by itself…but when you’re not getting the support you need, it can feel heavier. You don’t have to walk through life struggling to figure it out alone. Being that person may have worked for you in the past, but it’s no longer serving you, and I think you’re beginning to understand. I'm here to support you as you navigate beyond that.

While there are many reasons to seek therapy, often an underlying theme is that the strategies we have developed and relied on over time to deal with life's challenges are no longer working as effectively as might be needed. It is my belief, and has been my experience, that by understanding how we have adapted to the forces that shape our lives (both within and around us), and by changing the ways we relate to and experience these forces, we can create opportunities to strengthen valued skills or learn new ones, improve our ability to respond to and manage stress, and move with intention toward desired goals and outcomes.

My passion for counseling started when one of my loved ones was diagnosed with an Anxiety Disorder. Seeing a family member suffer on a daily basis made me want to help other individuals facing similar struggles. I know that when times get hard, you may start to feel alone, but you no longer have to feel that way. As a therapist, I hope to guide and support you through the challenges that you may be facing. My role is to assist you in reaching your therapy goals by providing non-judgmental support and helping to facilitate your journey.
