You’ve been trying really hard:

Seeking help isn’t a sign of weakness—it’s a testament to your strength.

At the core of my approach to therapy is a belief that you are capable of having the life you deserve.

I’m here to help. You’ve tried to figure things out on your own. Venting to your friends, self-help books, reading inspirational quotes and watching Tiktoks have gotten you this far, however you still don’t feel complete. I get it. I’ve been there. 

I specialize in working with driven women who feel overwhelmed because they have prioritized the needs of those around them instead of their own. Once upon a time I was in a similar spot as some of my clients. During that time I put the needs of my family ahead of my own needs because that’s what I thought had to be done. 

Does this sound familiar? You may be in a similar situation. 

Let me help you show up authentically and ask for what you want in order to have the life you desire.

How I work

Central to My Therapy Approach Is Creating a Safe Space for Women to Build Confidence, Connection and Emotional Balance.

I combine my experience, education, creativity, and sense of humor with a down-to-earth, realistic approach to sessions. Sitting and nodding is not my thing. We will dig in deep to help you get unstuck so you start living the life you desire. Therapy doesn’t have to be doom and gloom. With me you can laugh, swear or relax as long you showing up as your true self.

My clients have described me as authentic, having a highly approachable demeanor with the ability to rapidly build rapport, develop trust and sustain meaningful relationships. They would also mention that I am non-judgmental, solution focused, results-oriented.

Therapy with me is…

01 Honest

Grounded in openness and authenticity, I provide straightforward, compassionate feedback so you feel supported, respected and truly heard.

02 Fun

Growth doesn’t have to feel heavy, our sessions will be engaging and uplifting. I will bring creativity, humor, and connection into our sessions to make the healing process approachable.

03 Introspective

Therapy is a space for reflection, where we will explore patterns, beliefs, and experiences that shape your story helping you build self-awareness and lasting emotional wellness.

04 Individualized

Tailored to meet your individual needs. I will use personalized strategies to help you navigate your concerns.
