I work with women navigating stress, life transitions, and the many roles and expectations they carry. This may include burnout, relationship challenges, or feeling disconnected from yourself. Therapy offers a space to process your experiences, reconnect with your needs, and build a more balanced, grounded way of moving through life.

I support clients in building a stronger sense of self and confidence. You may struggle with self-doubt, people-pleasing, or feeling “not good enough.” In therapy, we work to understand where these patterns come from and develop healthier ways of relating to yourself, so you can feel more secure, empowered, and aligned in your choices.

I help adults manage anxiety, including constant worry, overthinking, and feeling on edge. Together, we work to understand what’s driving your anxiety while building practical tools to calm your mind and body. The goal is to help you feel more in control, present, and able to move through your day with greater ease and confidence.

ACT focuses on helping you relate differently to difficult thoughts and emotions rather than trying to eliminate them. You’ll learn skills to stay present, reduce the impact of overthinking, and take meaningful action aligned with your values. This approach supports greater flexibility, clarity, and a stronger sense of purpose.

Solution-Focused Brief Therapy focuses on identifying what’s already working and building on your strengths. Rather than staying stuck in the past, we focus on practical, achievable steps that move you forward. This approach helps you create meaningful change more quickly and feel more confident in your ability to handle challenges.

CBT helps you understand the connection between your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Together, we identify patterns that may be contributing to anxiety, stress, or self-doubt and work to shift them in more helpful ways. You’ll learn practical tools to manage symptoms, challenge unhelpful thinking, and feel more in control.
