About me

The desire for change is a brave one. Please feel proud of yourself for being open to receiving support in your journey. Are you feeling trapped by your emotions, circumstances, or unhelpful ways of thinking? Did you know, studies find, that having someone to hold you accountable increases the likelihood of you achieving your goals by ~94%? I will serve as a guide, helping you connect with your inner wisdom and explore it in ways that empower you to create a life that feels truly meaningful and fulfilling. Therapy and life coaching are some of the most powerful investments you can make. The insights and tools you gain aren’t temporary- they stay with you, helping you manage stress, strengthen relationships, and feel more at ease in your mind and body.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

We will start with a complimentary consultation session to explore our compatibility. You will have the opportunity to share your experience and what brings you to seek support at this time. I will assess if I am a good fit to support you at this point in your journey.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My energy is often described as grounding and healing. I have a gift for seeing people's higher potential even when they can’t yet see it for themselves. I do this work out of love- because it is what I am meant to do in this life.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

Those who are open and motivated to create change in their lives. Anxiety, depression, and other challenges are often signals that something in your life is out of alignment with who you truly are. Together, we’ll get curious about what’s beneath the surface and start paving the way toward the life you want to live.

My treatment methods

Acceptance and commitment (ACT)

Acceptance & Commitment Therapy is a beautiful, evidence-based framework for connecting deeply with what truly matters to you. This therapy is a lovely blend of curiosity, reflection, intentionality, and compassion.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT)

Dialectical Behavioral Thearpy is an effective evidence-based therapy useful for managing intense emotions and building resilience. It provides practical skills for staying grounded, regulating emotions, effective communication, and strengthening relationships. This approach has helped thousands of individuals worldwide develop a sense of balance and control in their daily lives.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is one of the most popular therapies of our time. It is used to help explore how our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected. Together, we’ll work to identify patterns that may be impacting your well-being, then develop strategies to shift those patterns. This evidence-based method has been effective in helping many people manage anxiety and gain tools to use in everyday life.

Internal Family Systems (IFS)

Internal Family Systems is a powerful, deep practice of looking within to explore the different parts of ourselves with curiosity and compassion. By understanding how these parts interact, especially those that hold pain, we can work toward greater self-awareness and healing. This is incredibly supportive in helping people build a more compassionate, self-aware, and secure relationship with themselves.

Narrative

The stories we tell ourselves shape how we see ourselves, others, and the world. Sometimes, those stories can keep us feeling stuck or limited. With narrative therapy, we work together to separate you from your problems and explore how your experiences, values, and strengths can help you rewrite your story in a way that feels more empowering and aligned with who you want to be. The process is collaborative, non-judgmental, and deeply respectful of your unique perspective and voice.
