Please note I specialize in working with women and my practice is women-only. Somewhere between taking care of everyone and holding it all together, you stopped mattering to yourself. You agree to things you don't want to, say you're fine when you're not, and spend hours replaying conversations picking yourself apart. You're anxious, hard on yourself, and really good at making yourself small so other people can be comfortable. I help women stop shrinking and start showing up for themselves without the guilt. Whether it's marriage, dating, friendships, family, motherhood, or work, or just understanding who you are outside of what everyone needs from you, there's a way through it and we can find it together.

I ’m passionate about doing healing work with neurodiverse folks including those who are impacted by past trauma, and enjoy helping clients of all ages gain feelings of safety and security while being in the driver’s seat of their own life. I often use treatment modalities of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior

Therapy, with a trauma-informed and neuro-

affirming approach and oftentimes incorporating

mindfulness or other experiential forms of learning.
