Sometimes life brings challenges that affect more than just how you feel; they can influence your relationships, your confidence, your family, and the way you see yourself. You may be struggling with anxiety or depression while trying to keep up with everyday responsibilities, feeling overwhelmed by family or relationship difficulties, or finding that past experiences continue to affect your ability to feel safe and connected. I work with children, adolescents, and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, stress management, women's issues, and trauma. These concerns can also intersect with ADHD, anger, panic, grief or loss, maternal mental health, cultural experiences, relationship challenges, or infertility, especially when several aspects of life begin to feel overwhelming at once. With eight years of experience, I believe everyone deserves to feel heard, understood, and accepted. My goal is to create a supportive environment where you can feel comfortable exploring your experiences, recognizing your strengths, and finding healthier ways to navigate life's challenges. Whether you are seeking support for yourself, your child, or your family, we can work together toward meaningful and lasting growth.

Our work will make room for both the person you are and the relationships, family experiences, emotions, and challenges that have shaped you. We'll explore how anxiety, depression, stress, women's issues, and trauma may be affecting your emotional wellbeing, relationships, and ability to feel confident and grounded. I may use Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help you safely process difficult experiences while developing healthier ways to manage the emotions and reactions connected to them, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help you recognize patterns in thoughts and behaviors that contribute to distress, and Motivational Interviewing to help you explore change and strengthen your confidence in moving forward. Play Therapy can provide children with a natural and developmentally appropriate way to express emotions and work through experiences that may be difficult to put into words. Family Focused Therapy can help strengthen communication, improve understanding, and build healthier patterns within family relationships. Our sessions will be collaborative, nurturing, and tailored to your individual needs, with an emphasis on helping you feel understood while developing practical tools for everyday life.

You do not need to have all the answers before coming to therapy. During our first few sessions, we will take time to understand what has brought you here, what has been most challenging, and what you hope will feel different. If we are working together to support your child, we will also explore your concerns as a parent and the ways family relationships and everyday experiences may be influencing their wellbeing. Together, we will establish goals that feel meaningful and realistic and determine where it makes the most sense to begin. You can expect me to listen with warmth, patience, and an open mind while creating a space where you or your child can feel comfortable being heard without judgment. Progress may look like feeling less overwhelmed by anxiety, developing healthier ways to manage stress and emotions, building confidence, improving family communication, or helping your child feel better equipped to express themselves and navigate difficult experiences. We will continue checking in on your goals and adjusting our work as your needs evolve. My hope is that you leave our sessions feeling supported, empowered, and more confident in the steps you are taking toward a healthier and more fulfilling life. When you are ready, you can schedule your first session with me through Headway.
