Tired of feeling tired? Fed up with stress and overwhelmed? Ready to take back control of your life?

You’re in the right place.


My clients tend to be women who struggle to make themselves a priority, often caring for others and over-extending themselves. They have quieted themselves to make room for others and lost themselves and their joy in the process. Having walked that journey myself, I know the value and power of fully stepping into who you are and reclaiming your life.

We may be a good fit if any of the following statements apply to you:

  • I’m great at being there for others, but I have a difficult time showing up for myself and letting others care for me.

  • I lack the confidence and ability to set boundaries, say no to things I don’t want, and stand up for myself.

  • No matter how much I achieve, I always feel there is more I need to do.

  • I’m tired of doing what I “should” do and the pressure I feel to appear like I’ve got it together.

  • My mind easily jumps to worst-case scenarios, so I usually either over-prepare or avoid things all-together.

  • I’m afraid of being blamed or criticized, so I tend to play it safe and keep myself small.

  • I’m so in my head that my overthinking is interfering in my ability to make decisions and be fully present in my relationships.

    It's time to take the first step towards a happier, healthier you. Whether you're seeking anxiety support, self-esteem counseling, or holistic therapy for women's mental wellness, I’m here to help you on your journey.

    Contact me today to schedule your free consultation with me!

    You deserve to live a life filled with joy, confidence, and fulfillment—let me help you make it a reality.

My Guiding Values

 

Compassion

 

Authenticity

 

Social Justice

 

Empowerment

 

Humor

I want to help women build their self-confidence, embrace who they are, and create a meaningful, fulfilling life.

 

You come exactly as you are, and I’ll do the same. I bring acceptance and compassion to each therapy session. I want us both to be authentic in the time we spend together, as I believe the foundation of therapy is connection and trust. My style is fairly laid-back and very encouraging and supportive.

My approach to therapy combines elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mindful Self-Compassion, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Relational Psychoanalysis. We’ll focus on cultivating curiosity and self-awareness to help you step outside of your comfort zone and grow.

Whether you need a more structured approach or simply a safe place to land, I’m committed to offering you the care you deserve. Your treatment is designed to meet your needs and help you achieve your goals.
