Great to meet you!

If you feel overwhelmed, stuck in your head, or frustrated that you keep repeating the same patterns, you’re not alone.

I work with women 21 and older who struggle with anxiety, overthinking, burnout, and ADHD related patterns like difficulty focusing, time blindness, and emotional ups and downs.

My style is direct, supportive, and practical. I use CBT and hypnotherapy to help you understand how your mind works and actually change the patterns underneath, not just cope with them.

Therapy with me is active and focused. You’ll leave sessions with clarity, tools, and a real sense of direction.

You don’t have to figure this out alone. We’ll make sense of it together and create change that feels doable.

My approach to therapy

I’m a Licensed Mental Health Therapist and hypnotherapist with several years of experience working with women who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or caught in patterns they can’t seem to break.

I work primarily with women 21 and older who struggle with anxiety, overthinking, burnout, and ADHD related patterns like difficulty focusing, time blindness, emotional ups and downs, and trouble following through. I also support clients who feel stuck in repeating relationship dynamics or disconnected from themselves.

As a mother, I understand how overwhelming parenting can feel, especially when you’re already stretched thin. I often help women navigate parenting stress, emotional triggers, and the balance between taking care of themselves and their families.

My approach is active, practical, and collaborative. I use CBT to help you understand your thoughts and behaviors, and hypnotherapy to help shift patterns at a deeper level so change feels more natural and lasting.

Therapy with me is clear, focused, and supportive. I’ll help you understand what’s going on, why it’s happening, and how to actually move forward in a way that feels realistic and doable.

What you can expect from me

Clients can expect to leave sessions feeling more grounded, self-aware, and equipped with practical tools to navigate life’s challenges. My goal is to help you build emotional resilience, gain clarity, and reconnect with your sense of purpose. If you're in New Jersey or Florida, I offer virtual therapy sessions to support you wherever you are. When you’re ready to take that first step toward meaningful and lasting change, I’m here to walk alongside you.
