(she/her)
I help women navigating women's issues, anxiety, stress, self-doubt, people-pleasing, identity building, life transitions, and attachment wounds. Whether you are entering adulthood or rediscovering yourself after years of caregiving, therapy can be a space to exhale, reconnect with your values, and feel more like you. My approach is warm, affirming and collaborative, blending evidence-based techniques with deep compassion. Outside of my practice, I find joy in nature, camping, hiking, and spending quality time with my partner and our three beloved hounds. I look forward to walking alongside you on your journey to well-being.
In our first session, we'll start by reviewing some initial paperwork to ensure everything is in order. We'll then take some time to discuss your personal history and any relevant background information. This helps me understand your unique experiences and needs. Finally, we'll talk about your therapy goals and what you hope to achieve through our work together. This session is designed to create a comfortable and supportive environment where you feel heard and understood.
My greatest strengths as a provider lie in my warmth, compassion, and unwavering support. I create a safe and nurturing environment where clients feel genuinely heard and understood. My approach is client-centered, ensuring that each individual's unique needs and experiences are respected and valued. I am dedicated to helping clients navigate their challenges with empathy and care, fostering a sense of trust and collaboration throughout our therapeutic journey.
I work with women navigating women's issues, anxiety, stress, self-doubt, people-pleasing, identity building, life transitions, and attachment wounds. Whether you are entering adulthood or rediscovering yourself after years of caregiving, therapy can be a space to exhale, reconnect with your values, and feel more like you. My style is warm, compassionate, and grounded in trauma-informed ACT, CFT, and attachment-based care.
Compassion Focused
CFT is designed to help reduce shame and self-criticism by strengthening your capacity for kindness—both toward yourself and others. It uses mindfulness and compassion practices to build a more supportive inner voice and promote emotional healing.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
ACT focuses on building a rich, meaningful life by helping you accept what’s outside of your control and commit to actions that align with your values. It teaches skills to handle difficult thoughts and feelings more flexibly, so they don’t run your life.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT is a practical approach that helps you notice unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, then learn new ways of thinking and responding. By practicing these skills, you can reduce anxiety, improve mood, and feel more in charge of your choices.
Somatic
Somatic therapy helps you understand and work with the ways stress and trauma show up in your body. By paying attention to sensations, breath, and movement, you can learn to calm your nervous system, release tension, and feel more grounded and connected.
