Beginning therapy, especially for the first time, can feel like an intimidating task. I understand that firsthand. The hardest step is acknowledging you need extra support and there is no shame in that, only strength. No matter what the presenting issue(s) is, we can work together to unpack it and focus on what brought you here, what you need out of therapy and what your ultimate goal is. I view the mind and body as one and in order to best care for ourselves, we need to nurture and understand both. Often times, our environment or situations happening in our life can derail this and that's where therapy can provide a consistency.

Everyone has the ability to lead a positive, healthy and productive life! However, we all can become sidetracked by the stressors we encounter each and every day. These stressors can lead us away from fulfilling our goals and following our dreams, sending us off course. Together we can begin to refocus and work toward moving down a path of achieving your own personal potential!

After starting my own family I became passionate about supporting sensitive, people-pleasing women who are trying to maintain a healthy work/life balance and still leave room for self-care and boundary management. My expertise lies in helping women debunk harmful messages from society that keep us trapped in perfectionism and comparison. The focus of my work with clients centers around exploring and setting goals, assertive communication training and self-esteem building. I’m on a mission to help my clients feel empowered and connected to their authentic selves.

If you feel lost, confused or hopeless about your life or your relationships, you can turn things around. You can get clear about these problems, and find solutions. You can have a life that more authentically fits who you really are. You can manage your relationships so they begin to feel warm and fun again. When you're suffering and feeling awful, it may be hard to believe that there are things you can do to feel good again. It may also be hard to believe that you can find the power to shift and revive painful relationships.

Understanding and making meaning of experiences is important to heal and move forward in life. There are times when we all feel off balance, unfocused, afraid, and alone. I work with children and adults to help them learn skills to make meaning of experiences and feelings, find what matters to them, and manage the tough and uncomfortable things that we all often push aside. I take an active approach to therapy, helping clients to identify values, goals, and changes to make them feel fulfilled. Whether I'm working with a 3 or 30 year old, I strive to be curious, empathetic, and respectful of the unique human that you are.

Imagine if you could feel comfortable sharing your struggles with trusted individuals, instead of keeping them bottled up inside? There is a way to develop coping skills unique to you, which will help you think and feel differently.
