“A journey of 1,000 miles begins with a single step.” ~Lao Tzu
Life can be hard and confusing sometimes! We all need connection along the way. My therapy space is where we connect to find safety, healing, and growth.
Many of us decide to change and grow whenever things happen or we don’t feel like ourselves or we want more for ourselves. I am here to help you walk through whatever journey you are on—whether it be life transition, changing moods or circumstances, anxiety, a major event, or personal growth.
Before I became a therapist, I was a teacher, and then I became a mom. I was on my own journey, sought help, and realized I wanted to help others through some of the same things I went through. When working with people one-on-one, I have seen great improvement in how they feel about themselves and the world around them. Realizing how the mind and body are connected and are both essential to overall health, I also became a certified yoga instructor, and I can sometimes incorporate yoga into my sessions with clients when desired. No one knows you better than you know yourself. I am here to walk alongside you and help you as you discover more and more along your path. I have experience with pregnant and postpartum mental health, substance use recovery, mood disorders, anxiety, parenting, couples, and family therapy. I use an individualized approach for each client, often incorporating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Mindfulness. My therapy work with individuals centers around having a non-judgmental, safe space and helping clients to live their best lives. I would be happy and honored to walk alongside you during your journey!
