About My Clients

I am passionate about women’s health and women who work in healthcare. I want to be of service to those who spend their life giving to others. I have witnessed the sacrifices healers make and the toll it takes on their own quality of life. I have witnessed the burnout, the disconnect, the anxiety, the stress, the trauma of being the line between life and death for so many, every day.

My Background and Approach

I am an authentic therapist. I show up consistently as myself and show you that you can be unabashedly yourself and worthy of love and respect simultaneously. I challenge, contain, and encourage my clients to be congruent and connected. I'm not afraid of your anger or your pain. I am EMDR trained and work from a psychodynamic lens with an attachment style.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I was raised by a strong, wonderful woman. My mom received her doctorate in nursing practice. Her sacrifice of self has been ever prevalent and she learned late in life that 'no' is a complete sentence. I learned firsthand the nursing culture and its unsustainability in a person's life. I firmly believe that the experience of a secure attachment will nurture change in a person's life. I advocate that insecure attachments are a catalyst for our mental health challenges. I am ever present within the inner workings of our relationship and how that shows up in your life with others. I am an authentic therapist. I show up consistently as myself and show you that you can be unabashedly yourself and worthy of love and respect simultaneously. I challenge, contain, and encourage my clients to be congruent and connected. I'm not afraid of your anger or your pain; I am prepared to meet you where you are and work to earn your trust to move into living a life that aligns with your values.
