Great to meet you!

As a licensed social worker and certified life coach, I believe every person has the capacity to grow, heal, and reach their goals. With over 15 years of experience in the mental health field, I’ve had the privilege of supporting individuals across the lifespan through a wide range of challenges. Today, my work is centered on treating women in helping professions—providing support as they navigate life transitions, manage stress, build resilience, and reconnect with a meaningful sense of purpose.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is grounded in the belief that you are the expert of your own life, and my role is to support and guide you as you move forward. Drawing on my experience as a mental health professional, I understand the stress and burnout that often come with helping roles. Together, we’ll explore your experiences, clarify your “why,” and create meaningful change.

I work from a compassionate, strengths-based perspective, tailoring each session to your unique needs, goals, and pace. My focus is on helping you build insight, develop practical tools, and feel empowered in your growth.

What you can expect from me

I strive to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where you feel comfortable being open and authentic. My goal is to foster a space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered to explore your thoughts and experiences.

Together, we will set meaningful, individualized goals that may include building coping skills, increasing self-awareness, improving relationships, navigating life transitions, and strengthening confidence. I focus on helping you develop practical tools and strategies that support lasting growth and positive change both in and outside of our sessions.
