About My Clients

I help women, parents, and entrepreneurs who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or burned out. My clients are navigating big life changes, relationship shifts, or past trauma—and want space to process, grow, and feel more like themselves again. You don’t have to do it all alone. We can take this one step at a time, together.

My Background and Approach

I'm a licensed therapist with a background in trauma, relationships, and life transitions. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in curiosity and compassion. I use integrative, evidence-based tools to meet you where you are—whether you're untangling past pain, navigating a new chapter, or simply trying to stay afloat. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you can slow down, be seen, and reconnect with what matters most. Therapy with me is flexible and real—we’ll focus on what’s meaningful to you and move at a pace that honors your nervous system and your lived experience.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe therapy should be a space that honors your full humanity—your culture, identity, story, and values. I support racial justice, LGBTQ+ rights, reproductive freedom, and mental health equity. As a single mother and entrepreneur, I deeply value flexibility, balance, and building generational strength. I'm committed to creating a space where clients of all backgrounds feel respected, supported, and empowered to heal in their own way. We all deserve room to grow and rest, not just survive.
