About me
Welcome! A kind, trusting relationship is at the heart of a meaningful therapeutic connection. Throughout my years as a therapist, it has been my honor to work with children, teens, and adults across a range of settings. My speciality areas are teens, young adults, and woman's issues. Also, I am the mother of 3 adults in their 20's who are launching in the world. My goal is to provide a safe and supportive environment so you can achieve healing and hope. I support individuals in navigating anxiety, depression, mood dysregulation, ADHD, and life transitions. We are often seeking not just symptom relief, but meaningful change, and aiming to feel more empowered, grounded, and whole.
My practice is rooted in evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and a Family Systems approach, with a trauma-informed lens. l emphasize a mind-body connection and take a holistic approach to therapy, incorporating mindfulness practices and guided visualizations.
I believe in the power of connection, humor, belonging, meeting with warmth, and creating a safe place for personal growth. If you are looking for support with obstacles you are facing, please email me and reach out. I am here to walk with you on your journey!
