LCSW, 5 years of experience
Hi—I see you. You're in your 20s or 30s, dealing with a brutal breakup, a messy divorce, a situationship from hell. You are feeling small. Your heart's been through it, and some days just getting out of bed feels impossible. I get it, and I'm here to help. My approach is down-to-earth and real. I bring warmth, humor, and steady support to our sessions. I'm not just here to listen (though we love a good vent)—I'm here to gently challenge you, help you spot the patterns, and walk alongside you as you heal and remember your own strength. Let's work with your whole self—mind, body, & values. We'll process feelings, spot patterns, and build real strategies. I will help you get clear on what matters most, then use that as your compass for decisions. It's time to decide what deserves your energy, and what doesn't. You'll leave feeling lighter and more like yourself.
All you have to do is show up — brownie points if you're feeling open. In our first session, my focus is getting to know you and how you operate. If you’re ready to dive in, amazing. If it’s not time to unpack the past just yet, that’s completely okay. We’ll figure it out together. I offer free 15-minute consultations—this is an option to feel things out before committing. I promise, talking to me is easy. I ask great questions and have a knack for sensing what you're ready to tackle. Not ready for a call? Go ahead and book your first session. You will likely be pleasantly surprised by how natural this feels.
I blend clinical expertise with real-world honesty, holistic approaches, humor, and a strong emphasis on female empowerment. I draw from ACT, somatic therapy, CBT, and attachment-based work to help clients create meaningful change. My clients often tell me they feel seen, understood, and challenged in a good way. (I also get a lot of love for my questions — the ones that make you stop and really think.)
I work best with women in their 20s and 30s who are navigating heartbreak, recovering from domestic violence identity shifts, and the messy (but transformative) process of starting over. If you're wondering, “Who am I now?” — well, you're in the right place. Stepping into this therapeutic space can help catalyze healing and strengthen your sense of self. If you're dealing with people-pleasing, low self-trust, anxiety, or emotional burnout, I see you. Let's reconnect with your voice, your values, and the direction you want your life to take. Wherever you are on the spectrum of introverted and extroverted, bold or modest, hesitant or gung-ho- I see you, I invite you, I pull you (gently) towards this work.
I often use ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) as a tool for reconnecting with your values. It’s common to feel untethered or unsure of what’s next. ACT helps clarify what matters most to you, now — so we can use that clarity to guide healing, choices, and next steps.
Your body holds onto stress, trauma, and emotion—even when your mind tries to move on. I'll help you understand how tension shows up in your body and teach you practical exercises to release it. It's important to work with your whole nervous system, not just your thoughts. I can offer accessible techniques to use in your daily life.
CBT helps us examine the patterns of thought that fuel shame, overthinking, and stuckness. If you're constantly questioning yourself or caught in spirals of negative thinking, we’ll work together to challenge those thoughts and develop tools that support confidence and clarity in your everyday life.
If you've experienced past trauma, invalidation, or emotional neglect, there are wounds we need to move around cautiously. I practice from a trauma-informed lens, which means I prioritize emotional safety, consent, and pacing. Together, we'll approach your healing carefully—without re-traumatizing you or rushing your process. You set the pace, and I'll meet you there.
