Have you done a lot of work on yourself, but still feel stuck in the same patterns?

You may understand your past, your triggers, and your relationships, but still feel overwhelmed or pulled back into the same cycles. You might be the one others rely on, while quietly feeling unsure of your needs or how to choose yourself without guilt.

I work with women who are ready to move beyond insight into real change. Together, we explore how past experiences are still shaping how you think, feel, and respond, so you can feel more grounded, clear, and like yourself again.

Hello! I am a licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor who works with children, families and adults navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges, trauma and identity exploration. My focus on sessions is practical, real and tailored to each person. Sessions often involve exploring patterns, trying out strategies that actually fit your life and reflecting on what's working and what is not. With children, adults and families, I focus on building connection, understanding experiences and creating small changes that feel meaningful day-to-day. My goal is to make therapy feel like a partnership, not a checklist.

I have been providing therapy to adults for about 20 years. My favorite feedback has been "you're the first therapist I don't have to edit myself to". I am solution focused, open minded and creative as well as judgment free (nobody's path is a straight line). I have a PhD in Metaphysical Science and got my MS from Nova Southeastern University. I am a certified trauma specialist. I also have done extensive research on the prediction of violent behavior.

Unconditional positive regard means being accepted and supported—no matter what. In a world where this kind of acceptance can feel rare, our work together can be a space where you feel truly seen and valued. I offer a compassionate, judgment-free environment where you can connect more deeply with yourself and others.


I work with clients navigating a wide range of experiences, including infertility, anxiety, relationship challenges, identity exploration, and transitions into and through parenthood. I also provide infertility consultations as requested by fertility clinics and doctors, following ASRM guidelines, to support individuals and couples using donor conception or gestational carriers.

You deserve a space to reflect, process, and reconnect with your inner strength. Whether you're grappling with uncertainty, grief, or simply seeking clarity, my goal is to walk alongside you with care and authenticity. If you're ready to deepen your connection with yourself and others, I would be honored to support you.
