Style in Session/Personality
I use a keep it real attitude and pair that with humor and relatability. I pull from many modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy , Polyvagal theory(mind, body, emotional connection) and somatics. I also access a strengths based, solution focused, and problem solving approach.
My style in session is to rely heavily on the therapeutic relationship, to make it a comfortable safe space for you to open up. I think my clients would say I am authentic and I bring parts of myself into the room, such as imperfections, personal insight, my human expereince in addition to evidence based clincial practice. These traits are helpful to the work of reflection and self-exploration, in my gentle challening to implement growth and in creating an environment in which you can learn and I can help reinforce new skills. I work closely with you to develop clear goals and a plan to guide your experience.

I work with women throughout the life span struggling with anxiety/depression, perimenopause/menopause, interpersonal relationships, parenting concerns and self-esteem.

Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected? You don’t have to navigate it alone
Life can feel heavy sometimes — whether you’re dealing with anxiety, relationship challenges, burnout, trauma, or major life transitions. I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can slow down, untangle what’s weighing on you, and move toward meaningful change.
My approach is collaborative and practical. I believe therapy works best when you feel heard, respected, and understood. Together, we’ll identify patterns that are keeping you stuck and build tools that help you feel more grounded, confident, and emotionally balanced. I integrate evidence-based approaches tailored to your needs, helping you gain insight while also creating real-world strategies you can use immediately.
I work with individuals who are navigating stress, self-doubt, perfectionism, relationship difficulties, and past experiences that continue to impact the present. I work with motivated individuals who are balancing a lot and want to feel more grounded and fulfilled.
Therapy is not about “fixing” you — because you are not broken. It’s about helping you reconnect with your strengths, clarify what matters most, and build a life that feels more aligned and fulfilling
Reaching out takes courage. If you’re ready to begin, I would be honored to support you.

How this all works
If you have never been to therapy before you may be wondering what the process is like. We offer a free 15 minute consultation to answer any questions you may have and make sure we are a good fit, and if not we can refer you to someone that hopefully will be. We will review scheduling options.
If you decide to move forward we will provide you with information to setup an account and get insurance verified.
Our first session together will be an opportunity for us to gather information from you about your history. We will discuss what your goals are and I may make recomendations for additional resources.
