Welcome

If you're here, there's a good chance life has been feeling heavier than usual.  Perhaps anxiety has become a constant companion, you're feeling overwhelmed by stress, or you've been carrying the weight of caring for everyone else while losing touch with yourself.

 

 

I want you to know that you don't have to navigate this alone.

 

 

For more than two decades, I've had the privilege of supporting adults as they move through anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges, grief, and the emotional impact of chronic stress or illness.  One of the greatest privileges of my work is watching people reconnect with themselves—with greater self-compassion, resilience, and a renewed sense of calm.

 

 

My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices.  I integrate mindfulness, self-compassion, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), cognitive behavioral strategies, and mind-body techniques to help clients better understand their thoughts, regulate emotions, and respond to life's challenges with greater flexibility and confidence.  I also help clients better understand how anxiety and chronic stress affect the nervous system so they can respond with greater awareness rather than fear.

 

 

I believe therapy is more than managing symptoms.  It's about creating a space where you feel genuinely heard, understood, and accepted.  Lasting change often begins when we can meet ourselves with curiosity and kindness instead of self-criticism, and my goal is to help you develop that relationship with yourself.

 

 

I earned my master's degree in Clinical Psychology from Loyola College in Maryland and have been a licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida since 2002.  I am also a certified Mindfulness Meditation Teacher.  My commitment to ongoing learning continues to shape the care I provide.  Over the years, I've pursued advanced training in mindfulness, self-compassion, ACT, and somatic approaches to anxiety, stress, and trauma so I can offer clients compassionate, evidence-based care.

 

 

Whether you're struggling with anxiety or simply navigating a difficult season of life, therapy can offer a place to slow down, gain clarity, and move forward with intention.

 

 

If my approach resonates with you, I'd be honored to support you.  I look forward to meeting you.
