We all want to love, be loved, do something meaningful, and have purpose in our lives, yet all too often prior relationships and life experiences have left us with coping skills that are unhealthy, ineffective or just downright baffling. As therapists, we are experienced in working with adults who have a history of childhood emotional abuse and/or neglect. Those we work with often find that they have difficult relationships, struggle to relax, and wish they were more in control of their lives.

What if you knew you can change how you feel about sex in your intimate relationship? What if you knew you can start wanting sex again? What if you knew you don't need to feel pressure and stress for having a lower libido than your partner? If you experience low libido and you feel like having sex in your intimate relationship is a chore or feels like an obligation, you should work with me!
My clients are people who want more from life and are ready to shed the limiting beliefs holding them back from being the most confident version of themselves. Throughout life, we learn defense mechanisms and poor coping strategies that keep our authenticity and inner spark locked deep inside of us. By going to therapy, you can dig through layers of programming that leave your true self boxed in, rewrite the stories that keep you small, and find the inner fuel for making the most out of life.
Clients whom I work best with are motivated to change, want to connect with their values, gain personal insight, understanding and self-compassion. With a trauma-informed mindset, I strive to create a safe and therapeutic environment, so clients can process and shift symptoms of: anxiety, depression, harmful life experiences (trauma), and repetitive unproductive patterns.
What truly ignited my path in this field was the realization that mental health is an integral part of our overall health and well-being. It's not just about treating symptoms; it's about empowering individuals to lead fulfilling lives, fostering resilience, and breaking down the stigma surrounding mental health. The ability to provide support, understanding, and effective interventions to those in need is a calling I feel deeply connected to.
Life can be hard! My hope is that working with me can help change that. I specialize in helping women and young people heal from challenging life experiences and trauma, even when it feels impossible, so you feel more joy, peace, and inspired to reach your goals. I also enjoy working with busy women, pregnancy and postpartum challenges, and college students who are struggling to find balance or have felt like something is holding them back from creating the life they want.

In my clinical experience I have had the opportunity to work with a diverse population in age, culture, gender identity and expression, economic background, and diagnoses. This is one of the things I love most about being a therapist is being able to support all different people from all walks of life. I specialize in trauma work but have experience and enjoy supporting my clients in whatever challenges life brings.
