✨ Feeling stuck doesn’t have to be your story.

I specialize in helping individuals and couples break free from patterns of anxiety, depression, disconnection, and the lingering impact of trauma. My passion is guiding people who feel overwhelmed or stuck to rediscover clarity, connection, and confidence.

With advanced training in crisis intervention, trauma-informed care, and intensive therapeutic work, I bring both expertise and heart into the room. You’ll find therapy with me is not just about coping—it’s about creating meaningful change that lasts.

My approach is rooted in compassion and collaboration, always tailored to your unique story. Together, we’ll uncover what’s holding you back, break unhelpful cycles, and build a life that feels aligned with who you truly are.

In our work, you won’t feel alone—you’ll feel heard, supported, and empowered. I’m honored to walk with you through the hard times and celebrate every breakthrough along the way.

✨The hardest part isn’t knowing something needs to change—it’s knowing where to start.

Here’s the truth: far too many people know something in their life needs to change, but they feel stuck at the starting line. That’s where I come in. I specialize in helping individuals move through anxiety, depression, and life transitions—not by offering quick fixes, but by building a process that actually works.

My mission is to create a space where people can pause, reflect, and uncover their own strengths, then use those strengths to design the life they want. This isn’t about generic advice—it’s about collaboration, clarity, and momentum.

Together, we’re not just addressing challenges—we’re creating a framework for growth. A framework where you’re supported, encouraged, and empowered to take meaningful steps forward, at your own pace. That’s the kind of transformation people invest in, because it doesn’t just change today—it reshapes what’s possible tomorrow.

✨ When life feels heavy, therapy should be the place where you find both clarity and momentum.

I’m passionate about helping people break through anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and major life transitions. Too often, therapy feels abstract—but my approach is different. I create a supportive, collaborative space while equipping clients with practical, evidence-based tools they can use right away.

The goal? Sustainable change. I help people better understand themselves, manage challenges with confidence, and create growth that lasts. My framework blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, and strengths-based interventions into personalized plans that actually fit real life.

I am also expanding her expertise with certifications in Alcohol and Drug Counseling (CADC) and Perinatal Mental Health (PMH-C), so I can meet clients at critical moments—whether they’re navigating substance use or the unique challenges of pregnancy and postpartum.

This is therapy with balance—structure when you need it, flexibility when life happens, and compassion at the core. The result is resilience, self-compassion, and the ability to move forward with clarity and purpose.
