Great to meet you!

You may appear to have it all together, but internally you feel anxious, overwhelmed, and mentally exhausted. Maybe you replay conversations, overthink decisions, struggle with self-doubt, or find yourself constantly worrying about your relationships, responsibilities, and whether you're doing enough. Being the one everyone depends on can feel lonely, and carrying it all alone eventually becomes exhausting.

My approach to therapy

I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 12 years of experience helping adults navigate anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, life transitions, relationship challenges, and low self-esteem. I work especially well with women and mothers who are used to putting everyone else first and want to feel more calm, confident, and emotionally grounded.

My approach is practical, collaborative, and rooted in evidence-based therapies, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and attachment-focused interventions. Together, we'll identify unhelpful patterns, develop healthier coping strategies, improve communication and boundaries, and build more secure relationships. My goal is to provide therapy that feels supportive, relatable, and useful in your everyday life.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, we'll talk about what brings you to therapy, what you've been struggling with, and what you hope will be different. You don't need to have everything figured out before you begin. My goal is for you to leave feeling understood, supported, and hopeful about the changes that are possible.
