My goal as a therapist is to help you take the driver’s seat in your own life. A history of trauma, experiencing depression, anxiety, or ADHD, coping with life changes, and dealing with the stress of relationships, family, work, school, and all the challenges that life throws at us can lead us to feel out of control and demoralized. I want to help you understand yourself better, your thoughts, and your mind, as well as teach you coping skills to empower you to live your healthiest, happiest life.

There is no cookie-cutter approach to therapy, so I want to get to know you as an individual. My approach is trauma-informed, and I often incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Cognitive Processing to help you overcome unhealthy patterns and feel more secure and confident. Woman-focused, feminist psychotherapy can help you to navigate the unique challenges women face. These include handling the balancing act of the many responsibilities women often have – parenting, relationships, career, family, etc., body image issues, and even overcoming the impact of discrimination, sexual harassment and domestic violence.

Therapy can validate, support and empower you to handle everyday pressures, to heal from any past pain and move forward in a healthy direction. I know it can be intimidating to start therapy. I like to use a sense of humor and warmth to build a great relationship based on mutual respect and understanding so you feel comfortable to share and be yourself. I hope that I get a chance to know you and help you to work through any difficulties that you are facing and build a better life.
