WHEW, YOU MADE IT.

Given the demands of today, it can be incredibly difficult to stop and notice your thoughts about what’s actually impacting your life right now. It’s often impossible to discern how you are really feeling and bring awareness to how your body is responding with the frequent noise and chaos that exists in our world. The fact is, if you’re reading this, it means you’ve given yourself an opportunity to just pause and breathe for a second. I’m so glad you did.

Working in the counseling field for over the past 10 years, I’ve had the privilege of providing therapy within multiple contexts to serve adults, children, and their support systems towards helping them heal. This professional path, combined with the journey of becoming a mother, has provided a foundation of rich experience, perspective, and heartfelt desire to walk alongside women going through the many complicated transitions of life.

My approach is fairly simple - I want to help individuals understand the patterns of how their thoughts, feelings and behaviors (or body responses) interact and inform the ways in which they move through the world. I utilize techniques founded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to provide a framework for organizing and making meaning out of what has happened in the past, so that one can better understand how this may or may not be affecting the present, and develop new paths towards improved functioning for the future.
