In a world that often pushes us to put on a brave face and "keep it all together", it can feel really hard to reach out for support. As a mom, wife, and business owner, I get it—it's overwhelming to even think about how to heal ourselves while juggling the many expectations life throws our way. Reaching out and making time for ourselves to get help can feel really challenging.
​​
My personal healing journey opened my eyes to the power of mindfulness and trauma-focused therapies, especially during deep-dives in intensive therapy sessions, which have brought me lasting change in my mental health and relationships. I’ve had the privilege of witnessing others transform their lives, and I truly believe in your ability to heal and thrive, too. I believe that simply (and bravely) showing up for therapy is truly a significant gesture of self-compassion.
​​
I’m here to support you in uncovering your inner strengths and nurturing the parts of yourself that need care. My passion is helping you turn trauma, depression, and anxiety into empowerment, joy, and peace. Together, we can work on cultivating more calm, clarity, and compassion in your life, allowing you to achieve the fulfilling life that you desire.
