Ever ask yourself, ”How did I get here?” When you feel overwhelmed and discouraged, it's like trying to keep your head above water. Life can get hectic, basic everyday tasks become more difficult, relationships get strained, and the wear and tear of your different roles becomes harder and tougher to juggle. Finding a sense of emotional well-being and balance in life can sometimes feel like an impossible task, especially during unpredictable times. If you’re starting to question your values, your thoughts, or your choices because you know there’s more to life; I’m so glad you found me.
I embrace a person-centered, strengths-based, and trauma-informed practice. I have a warm but direct approach. I have experience treating clients with anxiety, depression, perinatal and postpartum stressors, life transitions, work/ school stressors, relationship challenges (dating, divorce, marriage, friendships), trauma, and narcissistic abuse.
Finding the right therapist for you is essential. I support teens, adults and parents struggling to feel understood. My goal is to create a safe space for you that is free of judgment. I want you to feel heard and supported. Let’s discover if I’m the right therapist for you!
