About me

My partnership integrates the mind, body, and spirit, and I have extensive experience helping adult clients navigate depression, anxiety, grief, relational struggle, domestic violence, divorce, and substance use disorders.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, emotionally drained, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve you? On the outside, it might seem like everything is under control, but inside, you are wrestling with feelings of sadness, anger, shame, and exhaustion. It’s okay to feel this way, and recognizing it is an important first step. If you’re finding it difficult to focus on yourself after prioritizing others for so long, know that you’re not alone. Healing is a path you don’t have to walk by yourself; I'm here to walk with you every step of the way.

In our work together, I see you as the expert in your life. You’re the one in the driver’s seat, deciding what we focus on and the pace we take. My role is to be your trusted, nonjudgmental partner on this journey. I’m here to support you, challenge you when needed, and help you navigate toward the goals you want to achieve. Each session is about what you need. We’ll focus on the things you want to achieve, and if we notice we’re veering away from your goals, we can course-correct together

I believe in a therapeutic journey that is collaborative and compassionate, respecting your unique experiences. Together, we will create a safe and supportive environment where you can feel truly seen and heard, empowering you to make meaningful changes. My approach integrates the mind, body, and spirit, drawing on extensive experience in helping clients with depression, anxiety, grief, relationship struggles, domestic violence, divorce, and substance use disorders.

You don't have to carry this weight alone. Healing begins with clarity, and clarity starts with a conversation. Call or email today for your free 15-minute consultation. In one call, you'll know if we're a good fit and can start your journey from overwhelmed to in control.
