I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 15 years of experience. While I am direct and passionate, I will challenge you and provide a space where you feel safe. We will probably laugh a lot and explore areas you may never imagined were possible to go. I am caring, open minded and love guiding clients in their journey.
Taking the first step towards therapy can be a really vulnerable experience. Sometimes it feels like you don't have the time for it, or you feel you don't deserve to take time out of your day to focus on yourself. That's why it's my priority to create a space where you feel comfortable to show up exactly as you are without judgement. If you find that you are holding it together on the outside, but on the inside you feel overwhelmed, burnt out, and like you are constantly worrying about the next thing, it may be time to slow down and process what you’re experiencing.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I have over 12 years of experience in the mental health field. I provide a warm and supportive place where you can slow down, reflect and reconnect with yourself.
Currently I am focusing on first time mothers and those who are already mothers find balance in their current role, relationships, career and sense of self.
What if improving your relationships isn’t starting together, but starting with you? As a Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), I work with individuals who are curious about their relationship patterns and ready to create meaningful change from the inside out. You may feel stuck in recurring dynamics, find yourself questioning how your family background shapes your relationships, or want to communicate more effectively. Together, we create a space to gain clarity, better understand what’s driving these patterns, and begin making intentional shifts toward healthier, more balanced relationships.
