Life is a journey filled with both highs and lows. There are moments when simply getting through the day can feel overwhelming—when your mind is filled with constant chatter (often not the kindest), your body feels exhausted, and even small tasks take more effort than they should. If you’re feeling this way, you are not alone—and there is hope. Whether you are navigating anxiety, grief and loss, life transitions, or the impact of past experiences, I am here to walk alongside you. Together, we can create space to slow down, better understand what you’re experiencing, and build practical tools to help you feel more grounded, supported, and confident in your daily life. My approach is holistic in nature, non-judgmental, empathetic, and compassionate. I walk along side you as we explore your thoughts and feelings, to help better understand yourself, and find ways to create healthy alternatives as you move forward. My goal is to not only create a safe space for you, but to also empower you as you develop the insight, curiosity, and courage to create the life you want.
In our first session together we will begin to get to know one another. I want to learn what led you to counseling and what you are hoping to get out of it. My goal is to create a safe space for you where you can ask me questions and see that we are in this together-that you are not alone.
I feel my greatest strengths are that I am a warm, hopeful, genuine and honest therapist. One who takes the time to listen and build a deep connection while moving through difficult issues.
I work best with adults who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or navigating life transitions and are ready to better understand themselves and create meaningful change. Many of my clients experience anxiety, stress, grief and loss, relationship challenges, or the impact of past experiences showing up in the present. I am especially drawn to working with individuals who are motivated for growth and open to self-reflection, even if they’re not sure where to start. My clients often want to feel more grounded, improve emotional regulation, and build practical tools to better manage daily stressors while developing a stronger sense of clarity and confidence. I also support clients in processing grief and loss at their own pace, creating space for both healing and meaning-making without pressure or judgment. I have a particular interest in supporting women navigating hormonal life transitions, including perimenopause and menopause, and the emotional and physical changes that can come with this stage of life. My approach is best suited for those who are able to engage in outpatient therapy and are looking for a supportive, collaborative environment to explore patterns, strengthen coping, and create lasting, meaningful change.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
I will often incorporate ACT and mindfulness-based therapy in helping to encourage you to not shy away from your thoughts and feelings. As overwhelming as they may seem at times, using the tools of ACT helps you to be present with your thoughts and feelings-seeing them as they are and moving through them, not against them. This enables you to have a clearer perspective, identifying your key values and making new healthier choices moving forward.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
When using CBT, we will look at how you are perceiving life. We will explore thoughts that are distressing and how they are affecting your life. Your thoughts and perceptions influence the way you feel and behave-and I will work with you to learn how to recognize these distortions and reevaluate them in a healthy way as you move forward.
Grief Therapy
Grief should not be a solo journey. Everyone grieves differently, and I respect and honor your every step. Grief is often deemed as a loss of a loved one (partner, friend, family member, pet), however it is also divorce, long term illness, and loss of employment to name a few. There is no time line to grief, we each move at a different pace, and that is ok. I am honored to hold space with those who grieve, and while I do not have the ability to take grief away, I am present, caring, and offer you a place to just "be."
