Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Accepting clients Last Updated 18 days ago

My clients are women who have reached a point where something needs to change. They feel stuck in their patterns and behaviors, unable to stop and not understanding why. They are overwhelmed with uncomfortable emotions. It feels like their past intrudes on their present. They ask questions like “what’s wrong with me?” and tend to be hard on themselves. They may not feel seen or heard. They may frequently face conflict in their relationships. Many women experience life this way. You are not alone. I help women piece together their past, understand patterns, and respond differently to their environment.

Together, we will identify the skills you need to respond instead of react, support yourself in distress, and return to feeling safe and grounded. I provide a warm and non-judgmental space for you to explore who you are and how you got there, at your own pace. A dedicated time and space to focus on yourself can make a world of difference.

Many women live in a state of “doing,” rarely having the opportunity to rest, restore, and connect with themselves. Reaching out for the first time can feel scary. I offer a complimentary phone consultation to ensure you feel comfortable with me before moving forward. I welcome the opportunity to support you on your healing journey.
