Feeling stressed, anxious, or overwhelmed by life changes? I help adults—especially women navigating motherhood, grief, career transitions, and relationship challenges—find emotional balance, reduce anxiety, and cope with life’s difficulties. My approach is trauma-informed, attachment-based, and heart-centered, using CBT, mindfulness, and experiential techniques to help you understand patterns, heal from past wounds, and build practical coping skills. In our sessions, you’ll find a safe, supportive space to explore your challenges, develop strategies to manage stress and anxiety, and improve your relationships, confidence, and overall well-being.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I’m best positioned to serve clients who are ready to look inward, connect the dots, and make meaningful changes in their lives. I work especially well with women who are preparing to become mothers, those in the thick of motherhood, and those who need a compassionate space to heal, grow, and rediscover themselves. My ideal clients are introspective, open to self-reflection, and motivated to understand their patterns so they can create healthier, more fulfilling relationships and emotional balance.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as the foundation of my practice because it is a practical, effective, and empowering approach that helps clients understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.In our work together, I provide structured tools, evidence-based strategies, and gentle guidance to help you challenge self-limiting beliefs, reduce anxiety, improve mood, strengthen coping skills, and build healthier habits.

Attachment-based

In my practice, I use an attachment-based approach because our earliest relationships shape how we understand safety, love, and connection throughout our lives. By exploring the patterns we developed with our caregivers, we can better understand why we react, relate, or protect ourselves the way we do today. Together, we identify these patterns with compassion—not judgment—and work toward creating healthier, more secure ways of connecting with others. This approach helps clients build stronger emotional awareness, improve relationship dynamics, heal from past wounds, and develop a deeper sense of trust and stability within themselves and their relationships.

Multicultural

I take a multicultural approach in my practice because each client’s cultural background is a vital part of who they are and how they move through the world. Our values, family dynamics, identities, and lived experiences all shape the way we cope, connect, and understand ourselves. I believe that therapy must honor and integrate each person’s cultural story with sensitivity and respect. I strive to create a space where clients feel seen, understood, and empowered to explore how their cultural strengths, traditions, and experiences influence their healing and growth.
