I work with teens, college students, young adults, & women navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, identity shifts, & life transitions. For younger clients, this may include school stress, friendships, family dynamics, independence, & uncertainty about the future. For women, it may involve separation/divorce, burnout, or midlife changes. Many appear capable & high-functioning on the outside while feeling overwhelmed or disconnected within. Therapy offers space to reconnect and move forward.
Specialties
Somatic therapy focuses on how emotional experiences and stress are held in the body. By integrating body awareness, breathwork, and nervous system regulation, this approach helps clients release stored tension and reconnect with a sense of safety and balance. Somatic work can be especially helpful for anxiety, trauma, and major life transitions such as divorce or relationship changes.
Family systems therapy explores how early family relationships and dynamics shape emotional patterns, beliefs, and ways of relating to others. Understanding these patterns can be especially helpful during life transitions such as divorce or relationship changes. This work often overlaps with inner child exploration, helping clients develop healthier relationships with themselves and others.
Humanistic therapy emphasizes empathy, authenticity, and the belief that people have an inherent capacity for growth. My approach focuses on creating a compassionate, collaborative space where clients feel deeply seen and supported while exploring life transitions, relationship challenges, and personal growth.
Mindfulness practices help bring awareness to thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations in the present moment. These tools can reduce anxiety, increase emotional regulation, and support greater self-awareness. Mindfulness also complements somatic work by helping clients reconnect with their bodies and develop steadiness during times of change.
I take a whole-person approach that considers emotional, relational, and physical aspects of healing. Rather than focusing only on symptoms, therapy explores the broader patterns and experiences shaping your life. Integrating somatic awareness, breathwork, and reflective practices helps support deeper insight, resilience, and lasting change.
Specialties
Life transitions can bring anxiety, grief, uncertainty, & changes in how we see ourselves & our relationships. For women, this may involve separation, divorce, shifting family roles, or rebuilding identity & direction. For teens & young adults, it may include family changes, academic pressures, friendships, growing independence, or exploring identity. Therapy offers a supportive space to process these experiences, build emotional resilience, strengthen self-trust, & move forward with confidence.
Many of the women I work with are navigating midlife transitions, relationship changes, identity shifts, and evolving roles in work, partnership, and family life. Therapy offers a compassionate space to explore these experiences, reconnect with your voice and values, and move through life transitions with greater clarity, confidence, and self-understanding.
Anxiety can affect teens, young adults, and women at different stages of life, especially during periods of stress, uncertainty, and change. Whether you're navigating academic pressure, relationships, family responsibilities, or major life transitions, therapy can help you understand the patterns contributing to anxiety. I integrate traditional psychotherapy with somatic practices and nervous system regulation to support emotional resilience, self-trust, and a greater sense of calm & stability.
Grief can arise from many experiences, including the death of a loved one, divorce, relationship endings, family changes, and identity transitions. For teens, young adults, and women, loss can bring sadness, anxiety, uncertainty, and shifts in how we see ourselves and our future. Therapy offers a compassionate space to process emotions, honor what has changed, and navigate life after loss while building resilience, self-compassion, and a renewed sense of stability and connection.
Therapy offers a supportive space for self-discovery, personal growth, & developing a stronger sense of identity. Whether you're a teen exploring who you are, a young adult finding your direction, or a woman navigating a new chapter, we explore patterns, beliefs, & experiences that shape how you relate to yourself & others. Through reflection, somatic awareness, & connection, therapy supports greater self-trust, emotional resilience, and confidence in creating a life that feels authentic to you.
