Welcome! I specialize in working with survivors of emotional abuse/narcissistic abuse and women in recovery. Do you struggle with balancing work and family obligations, only to find yourself coping in unhealthy ways? Have you ever wondered if you are drinking too much and if it's becoming a problem? Do you "reward" yourself in the evening with alcohol because you've made it through a tough day of work and kids activities? If you're ready to look at healthier ways to cope and live with more peace and contentment, I can help! Do you feel like you are walking on eggshells with your partner? Are you constantly belittled or humiliated by your partner and are being controlled or manipulated? Prevented from reaching out to family and friends? Together, we can break the isolation and regain your own personal power and self-esteem. I know that reaching out for help can be challenging, and I want to commend you for taking this brave step towards healing. Together, we can work towards creating a brighter, healthier, and a more hopeful future. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you!

I maintain a non-judgmental attitude, creating a safe space where you can express yourself fully without fear of criticism.
As a therapist, I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients who are struggling with various mental health issues. CBT is a type of talk therapy that aims to change negative thought patterns, beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors that are causing distress. In therapy, we’ll work together to identify the specific issues that you’re facing and how they’re impacting your life. Then, we’ll develop coping strategies that are tailored to your unique needs and goals. The goal of this therapy is to help you create a life that feels fulfilling and meaningful. We’ll work together to change your thoughts and beliefs about the issues you’re facing, and learn to manage behaviors, thoughts, and emotions that are causing distress.
