(she/her)
I work with women who feel everything deeply—the overthinkers, the emotionally sensitive, and those carrying more than others realize. Many of my clients appear strong and capable on the outside while struggling internally with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, OCD, relationship challenges, or major life transitions. Using evidence-based therapy, I help clients better understand themselves, build practical coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting change.
During our first session, we'll discuss what brought you to therapy, explore your concerns, and identify goals for treatment. My approach is warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental. You don't need to have everything figured out—we'll work together to determine the best path forward. Christian faith can be incorporated upon request.
One of my greatest strengths is helping clients understand patterns that feel confusing, emotionally exhausting, or difficult to change. My approach is both warm and direct, balancing insight with practical tools. Together, we'll explore the factors contributing to your struggles while building skills you can apply in everyday life.
Many of the women I work with want to feel less overwhelmed by their emotions and more confident in their decisions, relationships, and daily lives. Therapy often focuses on improving emotional regulation, reducing anxiety, strengthening self-trust, processing difficult experiences, setting healthier boundaries, and developing practical coping strategies. My goal is to help clients better understand themselves, navigate challenges more effectively, and create meaningful, lasting change.
Other specialties
I identify as
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I incorporate DBT skills to help clients better manage intense emotions, improve distress tolerance, strengthen relationships, and reduce impulsive or self-defeating patterns. I often use mindfulness, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness strategies in a practical, supportive way tailored to each client’s needs.
Exposure Response Prevention (ERP)
I use ERP strategies to help clients gradually face feared situations, reduce avoidance behaviors, and build tolerance for uncertainty and anxiety. Exposure work is collaborative, individualized, and paced to support meaningful progress while helping clients move toward the life they want to live.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use CBT to help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns, better understand the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, and develop healthier coping strategies. CBT is particularly helpful for anxiety, depression, stress, self-criticism, relationship challenges, and patterns of overthinking.
Christian Counseling
For clients who desire it, I offer faith-integrated counseling that thoughtfully incorporates Christian values, spirituality, and discussions around meaning, healing, relationships, and personal growth. My approach remains client-centered, respectful, and tailored to each individual’s comfort level and beliefs.
