About me

It’s so nice to meet you! I’m passionate about helping women reconnect with themselves, heal from what they’ve experienced, and create the relationships and life they truly want. I work exclusively with women for individual therapy and also offer couples therapy on a self-pay basis for partners who want to strengthen their connection, improve communication, and navigate challenges together. Couples therapy is not billed through insurance. I specialize in attachment, emotions, self-worth, and relationship patterns, including anxiety, grief, anger, shame, and difficulty feeling connected to yourself or others. Over the past 7+ years, I’ve had the privilege of supporting clients as they gain a deeper understanding of themselves, break patterns that no longer serve them, build confidence, strengthen their boundaries, and develop healthier, more meaningful connections. My hope is to create a space where you feel seen, understood, and supported—not only in navigating what is difficult, but in reconnecting with who you are and moving toward the life and relationships you want.

Get to know me

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

I strive to create a warm, nonjudgmental, and supportive environment where you can feel comfortable being yourself. During our first session, I’ll learn more about what brings you to therapy, what you’ve been experiencing, and what you hope to change. From there, we’ll begin identifying the patterns, emotions, and needs that may be keeping you stuck and develop a direction for therapy together. We’ll take it one step at a time, at a pace that feels comfortable for you. You don’t have to have everything figured out before you begin—we’ll work through it together.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I use Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to help you slow down, understand what is happening beneath the surface, and develop a more compassionate relationship with your emotions. Rather than simply trying to change how you feel, we explore what your emotions are communicating and how they can guide you toward what matters most. Together, we work toward greater emotional awareness, authentic communication, healthy boundaries, and more secure connections—with yourself and with the people you love. My goal is not simply to help you feel better in the moment, but to support meaningful, lasting change that allows you to live more fully and intentionally.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I especially am fond of working with clients who are ready to create a change in their lives and to do the work it takes to create the life that they want. They understand that it takes time and effort and that it can be scary but they are ready to transform their life a small step at a time.

My treatment methods

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)

I help my clients to gain awareness, understand their emotions and use them as tools to break out of negative cycles, improve communication and ultimately heal and create lasting change .

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I help my clients to identify their patterns of thinking and how it impacts their emotions and behavior. If they discover that this way of thinking is hindering the life they would like to create, I help them to retrain their way of thinking.

Narrative

I believe we all have a degree of power and are authors that can influence our stories. So, I help my clients to reevaluate their story and alter their stories to their liking.

Calm, understanding personality and I can tell right away we will dig deeper into things that have been affecting my emotional health for a long time. Gentle, non pushy style and lovely to speak with.
