Great to meet you!

Life can feel overwhelming, especially when you're balancing the many roles, relationships, responsibilities, and transitions that come with different stages of life. I specialize in supporting adult women as they navigate anxiety, depression, stress, relationships, pregnancy and postpartum concerns, motherhood, career demands, and other significant life transitions.

I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor with a master's degree in clinical mental health counseling and more than 13 years of experience providing individual therapy in private practice. I consider it a privilege to walk alongside women as they navigate difficult seasons, better understand themselves and their needs, and work toward meaningful change. My goal is to provide a warm, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered while developing practical tools to help you feel more confident and satisfied in your life.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and individualized. I draw from evidence-based approaches, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), while tailoring our work to your unique needs, experiences, and goals. Together, we'll work to better understand the patterns that may be contributing to distress, build practical skills for managing life's challenges, and identify meaningful changes that can help you feel more confident, connected, and fulfilled.

What you can expect from me

Our first session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another and begin exploring what brings you to therapy. I'll invite you to share more about what you've been experiencing, the important people and circumstances in your life, and what you hope will feel different as a result of therapy. We'll also begin identifying your goals and discussing how we can work together to help you move toward them.

You don't need to arrive knowing exactly what to say or where to begin. My goal is to create a comfortable, supportive space where you can share at your own pace, ask questions, and leave with a clearer sense of what our work together might look like.
