Personal Statement
Our life story is filled with a mixture of joy, pain, trials, and triumphs.Your unique story deserves a caring ear. I am passionate about providing a safe space for you to feel heard and understood. I want us to work together to figure out what is holding you back and to empower you to see yourself as the person you truly are. Together, through humor and conversation, we will explore where you are and where you want to go.
Who I Serve
My passion is working with women who are seeking support, healing, and insight. I have a heart for women’s individual needs throughout their lifetime, especially given my own life journey. Women can face multiple changes, whether physically due to hormones, or circumstantially such as becoming a stay-at-home mom, when returning to work, or having an empty nest.

Additional Treatment Areas

Theoretical Approach
My treatment methods are determined by the unique needs of each client. I believe our behaviors are influenced by our thoughts and feelings, which is the basis of cognitive behavioral therapy. I also use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, narrative therapy, internal family systems, and a humanistic/strengths approach.
