Do you find yourself overthinking relationships, second-guessing yourself, or feeling emotionally exhausted from trying to hold everything together? Many of the women I work with come to therapy feeling drained from trying to “do everything right” while still feeling anxious, unsure of themselves, or disconnected from who they are.

My goal is to create a space where you can be yourself without pressure or judgment. I’m warm, compassionate, and active in sessions , helping you identify patterns, challenge unhelpful thoughts, and develop practical tools you can use in your daily life.

I believe therapy should feel both supportive and productive. Together, we’ll work toward helping you feel more confident, emotionally grounded, and secure in yourself and your relationships.

Great to meet you!

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I believe prioritizing mental health is key to happiness and stability in life. Asking for help can be one of the toughest challenges, so congratulations on taking that first step! I’ve been practicing for 10 years, and my main focus are adult clients who are struggling with PTSD, anxiety and depression.

Many of the clients I work with come to me feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or weighed down by experiences they’ve carried for far too long. They may struggle with anxiety, depression, relationship patterns rooted in early attachment wounds, or the lingering impact of trauma. Others are navigating life transitions, loss, or changes in identity that leave them uncertain about their next steps. At the core, most are seeking relief, clarity, and a stronger sense of themselves. They want to feel more regulated, more confident, and more capable of moving through daily life without being held back by old patterns or emotional pain.
