I am here to help you embrace the best version of yourself. The world is full of stressors that ultimately can leave you feeling anxious, not good enough, or as if there’s not enough space for you. I build deep connections with my clients to feel safe enough to explore these difficult experiences. I help introspective people learn even more about themselves, resulting in greater self-acceptance and more overall life satisfaction.

During the therapeutic process, it’s all about you! I’m a therapist who understands that one size doesn’t fit all, one technique or approach doesn’t work for everyone. Therefore, we will work collaboratively to devise a personalized blueprint to best meet your needs. Additionally, we will focus on your goals, combating any challenges that may hinder you from accomplishing them. As we sojourn through the therapeutic process together, I will offer unwavering dedication to your success and strive to create a warm environment where you feel safe, and free of judgement. I look forward to assisting you in becoming the best version of you!

JuST ReLAX!: Has anyone ever told you this before? I know, it really gets under my skin, too. Do I really need therapy? What's the point of sitting on a couch and talking with a stranger about my problems? I'm way too busy to be speaking with this guy for an hour anyway - - All of us have difficult moments in our lives that lead us to seek out therapy. Sadness can feel like it will never end. Anger is felt in our head, but we may feel judged by others for expressing it. If only there was a button we could press that would make us feel happiness. Though that magic button may not exist, we can work to create a new path together.

Asking for help is a hard thing to do. It is made harder when we believe that doing so makes us weak or different or wrong. However, I believe that asking for what we need takes strength and is an important form of caring for ourselves. Whether you're struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, or challenges of navigating life transitions, therapy can provide a unique and powerful opportunity to be deeply known by yourself and another.

We often feel overwhelmed, misunderstood, or stuck in cycles of dysfunction in our lives. We allow emotions to choose our day and give away our power to unhelpful thinking. Therapy offers us a safe place of refuge, validation, and hope apart from our uncertain circumstances. The therapist and client develop a mutually respectful and healthy relationship built from developed trust and compassion. Within this domain, my goal is to deepen your insight, self-awareness, and help you practice kindness accepting that which is truly you. Together we will consider healthy perspectives and identify patterns that perpetuate unhelpful cycles.

Your child or tween is described by teachers, coaches, and other adults as a pleasure to work with, but at home, you know they're struggling. They put so much pressure on themselves to be perfect, despite your reassurances. You're constantly soothing their worries or anxiety and they might be crying or having trouble sleeping at night. They always seem to see the worst in themselves or have low self esteem and you know they’re capable of so much more. You’ve read the parenting books and blogs, listened to the podcasts, and nothing is working. It’s exhausting! As a play therapist and mom myself, I get it!

You knew motherhood wouldn't be easy, but you didn't realize how easy it would be to lose yourself in it. Despite being smart, hard-working, and ambitious, life is hard. You feel guilty for not savoring motherhood like everyone on the internet does. You feel both pulled in a million directions and stagnant. You feel exhausted, unappreciated, and selfish for wanting some recognition. You conclude something must be wrong with you. Guilt gets in the way of the life you want in so many ways. You aren’t the strong woman you are drawn to in your favorite novels. You feel like you’re failing and your confidence in yourself is tanking.

I support young mother's of color on their quest to strengthen their family dynamics and work on their own selves. Let's face it, raising a family can be challenging along with caring for yourself and it is nearly impossible to be present for everyone else without taking care of yourself. I support women and children identify the skills they need to move forward past any issues, big or small and thrive. Also supporting mother's through postpartum depression, as this can have a major impact on the family dynamic. "If everything was perfect, you would never learn and you would never grow"-Beyonce
