LCSW, 5 years of experience
POV You're a woman in your 20s or 30s, facing difficult times— maybe a breakup, a divorce, a situationship from hell, or a painful, controlling dynamic that beat you down. Maybe you don’t recognize yourself. You’re grieving, confused, a little unhinged, & maybe... hopeful? You want to feel clear and confident. Like you — not someone’s partner, emotional support system, or punching bag. Maybe you are looking for a you who has never existed before. Your goals aren’t small and neither are you. My approach is down-to-earth, relational, and gently challenging. I bring warmth, humor, and a steady presence to the therapy room. I’m not here just to listen (though we love a good vent); I’m alongside you as you grow, heal, and reconnect with your own strength.
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 — in tandem. The first few sessions are exploratory. I want to understand the chaos, heartbreak, or internal storm you’ve been navigating. After the first or second session, I’ll send you a personalized screener. I create custom screeners because they’re prettier, more relevant, and reflect what you’re working on — so we can track your growth in a way that feels meaningful (and a little more fun).
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 — not just insight. 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.
If you’ve found yourself replaying unhealthy dynamics in relationships — clinging, withdrawing, or self-abandoning — we’ll explore your attachment style with compassion. Our therapeutic relationship becomes a space where trust, stability, and self-understanding can begin to grow.
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.
Breakups can activate old wounds — especially if you’ve experienced past trauma, invalidation, or emotional neglect. 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 or rushing your process.
