After 15 years as a therapist, I've learned that what helps most isn't always the therapeutic techniques—

it's sincere connection and really being heard.

 

Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of sitting with women from many walks of life—women who are capable and caring, but quietly exhausted from holding so much. What I’ve seen, again and again, is that what helps most isn’t a technique or a worksheet. It starts with connection. When someone feels safe enough to be fully themselves—to talk openly, to let their guard down, or to say things they’ve never said out loud—something inside begins to settle. Research supports this, and I’ve witnessed it firsthand: the strength of the therapeutic relationship often matters more than any single intervention.

 

I also bring the clinical training to offer more structured support when it’s needed. I hold a Master’s in Counseling Psychology and advanced certifications in EMDR, CBT, DBT, and trauma-focused therapy. Before opening my private practice in 2018, I spent years working in residential and outpatient settings, supervising clinical teams, and helping women navigate trauma, grief, anxiety, addiction, stress, and major life transitions. This experience gives me the flexibility to meet you where you are—whether that means simply talking things through or gently exploring what’s underneath.

 

My style is warm, calm, and conversational. Our sessions are a place to slow down and make sense of what’s been weighing on you. Some weeks are about release and relief; others are about deeper understanding and growth. However it unfolds, my intention is simple: to meet you where you are and to help you feel seen and supported.
