For 20+ years, I've walked alongside teens and women as they navigate the emotional storms of life- helping them turn anxiety into strength, depression into clarity, and change into growth. My practice is built on the belief that healing begins when we feel truly seen, heard and understood.
I specialize in working with the transitions of life, pressures of expectations, or the fear of the unknown. I provide a safe and empowering space to process, heal, and build lasting resilience.
My approach is compassionate, practical, and rooted in evidence-based strategies that foster emotional strength and inner peace. Together, we'll uncover the tools you already carry-and develop the ones you need-to move forward with courage, clarity, and confidence.
Life doesn't need to feel overwhelming or exhausting. I help my clients understand their patterns, develop healthier coping tools, and build lasting emotional resilience.
Real change begins when you decide you're ready- and I'm here to walk beside you when you are.
