Great to meet you!

I help women who feel stuck in patterns of self-doubt, people-pleasing, or painful relationships. They come to me seeking peace, confidence, and clarity. I support them in healing from anxiety, depression, and toxic relationship cycles so they can set healthy boundaries and trust themselves again. Through talk therapy, CBT, and Brainspotting, I guide them toward lasting emotional freedom and a stronger sense of self.

*To get started, please schedule a free 15-minute consultation by calling or emailing and leaving a message.

My approach to therapy

I work in a solution-focused manner to assist clients with empowering themselves. I also use a trauma-informed and cognitive-behavioral approach. To assist my clients with getting the healing, they need from past trauma and reframing any negative or self-critical thoughts that might be holding them back.

What you can expect from me

I assist my clients with learning to trust themselves after painful or abusive experiences. I help them learn to set healthy boundaries, be more assertive, engage in creative problem-solving, and develop healthy coping skills.
