Great to meet you!

Hi and welcome! I'm so glad you're here. I have years of experience working with men and women who struggle with anxiety, depression, ADHD, and PTSD. As a licensed mental health therapist, I am also passionate about supporting women in understanding the intricate connection between their hormonal cycles and mental health. With years of experience and specialized training, I help women navigate the emotional and psychological challenges associated with different phases of their menstrual cycle.

My approach to therapy

I believe in a holistic, integrative approach to therapy, combining evidence-based techniques with mind-body practices to promote overall well-being. My work blends traditional therapeutic methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with more holistic modalities such as nutrition, mindfulness, breathwork, and lifestyle adjustments to help clients reach their goals and improve emotional regulation.

What you can expect from me

My ultimate goal is to help women feel more connected to their bodies and minds, empowering them to live authentically, with a sense of clarity and emotional resilience.

I take a holistic approach to treating her clients with a nutrition focus. I also take a CBT approach to inform our treatment, which allows my clients to educate themselves on building the self awareness required for the healthy change they're looking for as well as the tools required to pursue that change.
