Welcome — I’m so glad you’re here. I’m a licensed mental health therapist who works with adults navigating the messy, overwhelming, and deeply human parts of life. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and rooted in the connection between the mind and body. I integrate evidence-based practices with Brainspotting and nervous system-focused work to help clients create meaningful, lasting change.


I support individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship and attachment wounds, mood-related challenges, low self-esteem, perfectionism, parental stress, workplace burnout, and major life transitions. I also have a passion for helping women reconnect with themselves through different seasons of life.


My goal is to help you feel more grounded, connected, and empowered — not just in sessions, but in your everyday life. Therapy with me is a space where you can show up fully as yourself while we work toward healing, insight, and lasting growth together.

On the outside, you may be high-achieving and appear to have it all together. Inside, you're exhausted from overthinking, second-guessing yourself, and feeling like nothing you do is enough. You say yes when you want to say no, feel guilty putting yourself first, and worry about disappointing others. In relationships, you struggle to express what hurts, question whether you're asking for too much, or give more than you receive. Maybe you've spent years being the strong one, keeping the peace, or putting others first because past experiences taught you that your needs came last.
